One of the most intriguing aspects of music is
how easily it can transform oneÆs mood. The
right notes, at the right tempo, and all of a
sudden, BAM! YouÆre in a good mood. This 3 piece
from Washington, DC knows exactly how to pull
this off. Consisting of members of the now
defunct band ôFaraquetö, Medications oddly
enough, sounds a lot like Faraquet. ItÆs
peculiar how a band consisting of the same
musicians can sound very similar. After the
Faraquet breakup 2 of the founding members
created Medications and while the sound is very
similar, the new third wheel does add some new
elements into the mix. A mere 6 months since the
release of their Medications EP, they have
returned with their first full length Your
favorite people all in one place available now
on Dischord.
While the music on this album does sound a lot
like Faraquet and the Medications EP, the quirky
time signatures and awkward vocal lines are
quickly becoming a thing of the past, the
songwriting maintains that same dry, yet clever
feel, but it seems the band is slowly trying to
forge a new identity. The album begins with
Surprise! Which is arguably the single greatest
opening track of all time, starting off as every
70s rock concert ended, a solid 4/4 beat with
ascending guitars and thundering drums. Any band
that has the guts to open their disc with a rock
and roll finale gets extra points from me.
The production and dumbed down songwriting of
this album is slightly disappointing, unless of
course you are a classic rock fan. You can
clearly hear the influence of early rock bands
like Led Zeppelin, both on the production, and
the songwriting. With drumming that is very
evocative of Bonzo and very thin, vintage guitar
tones. The album, just as the EP and all
Faraquet material before it, has a very raw and
uncut feel to it. Not raw in the St. Anger ôwe
didnÆt even tryö sense, but more along the lines
of a live recording, the band sounds tight, but
you can still pick out the playing nuances of
each member, giving the band a very ærealÆ
sound. If youÆre sick of pro-tools albums, this
just might fit your prescription. (Pun intended,
zing)
I think the classic rock influence shines
strongest on the albums 9th track, I am the
Harvest the opening feedback drops into a guitar
riff that just screams Jimmy Page from miles
away. You can almost see the band performing it
in your head, after nearly 2 minutes of
introduction guitar noodling, the vocals finally
enter and the guitar takes a much needed break.
The drumming really takes over on this track, as
the guitar feedbacks during the verses and
allows the drums and bass to dictate the rest of
the song.
Your favorite people all in one place may not be
a bold step into uncharted territory for this DC
trio, but thereÆs nothing wrong with a slow
evolution. The music is solid and the band still
appeals to their core fans while managing to
remain fresh and interesting.
Overall: 7.1
