::: For avant-popsters Fol Chen, there's some truth in the old :::
::: adage about the company you keep. The masked, anonymous :::
::: California six-piece recently spent some time on the road :::
::: supporting Liars, even going so far as to help fortify that :::
::: outfit during their manic set. And any crew that has the :::
::: freak-out chops to roll with those dudes must have some :::
::: bizarro tricks of their own. But even if Fol Chen subscribe :::
::: to a quirkier, more restrained brand of weird than their :::
::: collaborative pals, it's this kindred aesthetic that helps :::
::: them stand out and occasionally impress, as a good portion :::
::: of their sophomore effort Part II: The New December is able :::
::: to do with a series of rhythmically obtuse tracks that :::
::: uncover patches of contorted funk and whimsical pop. :::
::: The opening one-two punch of "The Holograms" and single "In :::
::: Ruins" is a great attention grabber, homing in on the more :::
::: subdued elements that presided over their debut Part I: John :::
::: Shade, Your Fortune's Made and giving them a hooky overhaul. :::
::: You get a sense that Fol Chen have a weakness for harboring :::
::: clutter, but they do so in a way that clearly demonstrates :::
::: some kind of control, as samples and right-brained :::
::: instrumentation fit almost robotically into specific places. :::
::: This approach is also likely responsible for the out-and-out :::
::: pop looks a lot of The New December digs into. Like :::
::: outcasted members of Prince's Revolution, "In Ruins" spins :::
::: and thumps deliriously in ways that wouldn't feel out of :::
::: step with either a really leftfield Christina Aguilera :::
::: single or a clattering Deerhoof tune. :::
::: But The New December's weakness is being unable to relocate :::
::: the momentum of its opening songs. Subsequent tracks like :::
::: the sparse, vaguely loungey "Your Curtain Call" and the :::
::: sinister "This Is Where the Road Belongs" have intriguing :::
::: details but ultimately end up just kind of wandering all :::
::: over the place. And most of the hushed, ethereal tracks are :::
::: too committed to understatement, they simply often drag. :::
::: Save for goofed-out R&B jam "C/U", most of the material :::
::: feels a little flat without the movement of the standout :::
::: moments or the exotic vibes that the slighter, meandering :::
::: pieces contain. Had Fol Chen made good on those early :::
::: impulses to really boost The New December's kinky :::
::: eccentricities, it wouldn't have been much of a surprise to :::
::: find it making serious inroads with new listeners. Though it :::
::: ultimately only warrants selective revisiting, it certainly :::
::: doesn't mean we aren't curious to see how Part III might :::
::: work out. :::
