With due respect to Levon Helm, most folks concur that life is far too
short for solo albums by rock drummers. So there's clearly some perverse
pride in this project, a band composed entirely of moonlighting Ohio-based
rock drummers. The most well-known is Patrick Carney of the Black Keys, who
plays bass here. But it's the wiry, hyper guitars and weird, snarly
keyboards that spark this fatty up. The echoey vocals recall Nineties
shoegazers like Ride, and the instrumental breaks suggest quality time has
been spent with Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted. And that's just fine. Oh,
yeah: The drumming kicks some ass.
