Review of Greener Grassing in Chico's Synthesis weekly:
THEM HILLS
Greener Grassing
WWW.MYSPACECOM/THEMHILLS
Haven't we heard this before? Actually, two-thirds
of Them Hills were in Pocket For Corduroy. But this
self-released album far surpasses anything we knew
of their past identity. Greener Grassing is stacked with
classy Fender guitar tone drenched in distorted electronics,
complemented by keyboard blips and lines
that give an added danceable feel to this seemingly
simple indie rock music. Some songs, such as the
opening rocker "Perfectly Normal," submerge the listener
into a field of overdriven bass tones and drum
circles that only show up in a few other songs. But as
shown in the following track "Grow Down," they are at
home dancing and rocking with a growing penchant
for experiments. All in all, a tasteful first effort.
Paul Albert Harper
