MySpace a place for friends

There's something to be said about a band that can grow. Stereo Soul Future consists of three songwriters who fuse three individual perceptions into one symbiotic aesthetic. The product of this collaboration is an interplay of the style of the songwriter thrust into the mechanics of the band.

Their latest release Vital Signs illustrates one step, the current step, in their development. While retaining the melodic overtones of their first LP, Red Tree Music, the band has expanded their palette, placing more emphasis on experimentation in the spirit of Wilco, Radiohead, The Beatles and Blur.

Their mission isn't to give you closure. It isn't to bring you down the river. It isn't even to get anywhere necessarily. It's just to get through. Hopefully at the end there will be something.

"Stereo Soul Future might be eclectic or they might be a band in search of an identity. I remember seeing them perform two songs at Little Steven's national Battle of the Garage Bands preliminaries and thinking they sounded pretty good, in a retro power pop kind of way. I liked it the same way I once liked The Pills. Tonight SSF open with a song that reminds me of the Beach Boys, complete with sunshiney, three part vocal harmonies. But it unexpectedly segues into this minor chord, heavy and ominous mood that reminds me of Iron Butterfly. As a fan of both bands I certainly don't mind. "The Numbers Are Out to Get You" outlines the soullessness of an accountant's job, set to a Caribbean or maybe ska sounding beat with rhythm block (the singer jokes afterward that we should take a drink every time we hear the block)."

"Stereo Soul Future incorporates influences of the past into their absolutely fresh, youthful, rock n' roll sound."

"While it opens with everyday, straight-forward, riff-happy rock music, Red Tree Music really finds its legs a few songs in. The downtempo seventh track, "Baby Baby Baby", is a high point; its simplistic, easy-going guitar and drum parts will soothe your soul and are a welcome respite from the manic energy of the tunes that precede it. The closing track, "We're A Rock N' Roll Band", best summarizes the disc, borrowing the guitar part from Neil Young's "Keep On Rockin' In The Free World" and showcasing these Beantown rockers' tight musicianship. Sometimes it's not necessary to create ground-breaking, awe-inspiring music; despite employing every rock cliché of the past 50 years -- everything from songs about drinking to the dreaded "hidden" track -- Red Tree Music is a comfortable and familiar album, more broken-in than played-out. Accordingly, it's ideal for a late-summer poolside barbeque and will keep the party rocking all night long. Like the pitcher of beer used to wash down a greasy cheeseburger, Red Tree Music is best consumed in the company of old friends."
