Kanada Kev Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 http://www.timesleader.com/mld/timesleader/entertainment/16585984.htmmoe. only getting betterHaving as much in common with Wilco and Radiohead as the Grateful Dead, indie jam rockers moe. return with a mature, intriguing and tuneful album in “The Conch,†the band’s first studio release since 2003. Boasting three singer/songwriters and a ferocious two-guitar tandem, the 17-track album displays moe. at arguably its studio best, taking the listener on a journey from the funky opener “Blue Jeans Pizza†to the slow burn of “Brittle End.â€The album opens with a sinister Rob Derhak bass line which is slowly joined by percussion and piano before an infectious dual guitar lead takes over. Derhak’s falsetto vocals are unique but not out of place. The second track, “Lost Along The Way,†creates a nice contrast, thanks to its slower tempo and the twangy, introspective vocals of guitarist Al Schnier. The triumphant, intertwining guitar work of Schnier and Chuck Garvey here is one of “The Conch’s†highlights. “Tailspin,†the album’s lead single, is straight-ahead, aggressive guitar rock, as is “The Road,†a refreshing track that tells the tale of a band that actually yearns to tour. “She†is downright funky and reminiscent of Led Zeppelin, while “Another One Gone,†the only song on “The Conch†not road tested before studio release, adds a poignant and somber note, with references to late artists like Kurt Cobain.Known for its propensity to stretch songs past the 20-minute mark during its marathon concerts, it’s no small feat for moe. to edit its tracks for maximum impact in the studio, and with “The Conch†the band has managed to pull it off. “The Conch†also deserves praise for sequencing the tracks in an order that complement each other and the deployment of instrumental snippets, rife with strategically placed recurring musical themes, which hold the somewhat disparate songs together and help provide a sense of cohesion.
