商品の説明
Amazon.com's Best of 1998
Like Mark Eitzel's best work with American Music Club, Featuring "Birds" finds Elliott Smith's old Heatmiser cohort Sam Coomes in the sort of hope-deprived mood that leads not to suicide, but to nonstop wisecracking: "Life is dull, life is gray / At its best, it's just OK / But I'm happy to report / Life is also short." Driven by ex-wife and Sleater-Kinney member Janet Weiss's powerhouse drumming, Coomes's overamped electric keyboard is the perfect vehicle for his wryness and melodicism. --Rickey Wright
From Amazon.com
Sam Coomes's ruminations have turned decidedly glum as he mulls over his own decay. Fortunately, he is also a savvy student of pop music; a life-long lover of the British Invasion, particularly the Kinks and early Pink Floyd, so even his darkest mutterings come baked in a tasty, if somewhat flaky, crust. Right off the bat, Sam is sounding the alarm of complacency with some keyboard savagery in "Our Happiness Is Guaranteed," a piece of lobotomized optimism about burying your head in the sand in order to achieve peace of mind. "The Happy Prole" is a short but devastating song about work with lines like "You need the money so you've got to play it dumb/But if you play it long enough, that's just what you'll become." On "Sea Shanty" Sam watches the days pass like empty boats as his own vessel sails to oblivion. "Life is dull/Life is gray/At its best it's just OK/But I'm happy to report/Life is also short," he acknowledges in the unaccountably zippy "California." Time and again Sam warns about the ease of falling into a workaday rut, which he sees as a kind of living death; he usually refers to these people as ghosts, while those imposing the work are vampires, and the folks who accept it all without a struggle are machines. An oversimplification, or the unblinking truth? This might be too much nasty medicine if the music didn't engage so consistent. This is easily Quasi's most accessible--even blatantly pop--album, aided and abetted by the colossal drumming of Sam's former spouse, Janet Weiss. Featuring "Birds" is a stunning record that looks the reaper square in the eye. --John Chandler

エリオットスミスがかつてやっていたヒートマイザーというバンドに途中から在籍し、解散後はエリオットスミスのバックも勤めていたSam Cooms(Key)とスリーターキニーのJanet Weiss(Dr)からなる2人組(ちなみに2人は元夫婦)、Quasiの98年の2ndであるこのアルバムは、騒々しくも、ひねくれたアレンジとキャッチーなメロディを併せ持った、90年代を代表するギターポップアルバムの一枚に入るだろう。ただこのバンド、普通はギターが果たす役割を鍵盤で代用することでユニークな音に仕上げている。ので、ギターポップと呼ぶのは違うのかもしれないが…97年作「I CAN HEAR THE〜」の頃のヨ・ラ・テンゴやエレファント6のThe Olivia Tremor Controlなど、ライブよりも録音された音に重きを置く宅録係ギターポップが好きな人は是非!!
