,: "Their slackened vocals and alternation between loud fuzz and :,
: slightly less loud fuzz recalls a time when indie rock wasn't :
:' expected to sell deodorantà.Herzog came up with one of the best ':
,: pieces of Midwestern "fuck our band" anti-heroism since the :,
: heyday of Local H." - Pitchfork :
:' ':
,: Herzog has quietly been building a devoted following with their :,
: relentless take on guitar-driven power-pop. Comparisons to æ90s :
:' luminaries such as Built to Spill, Sebadoh, and Dinosaur ':
,: Jrabound---apt and warranted---but similarities with present-day :,
: bands like Diarrhea Planet, Thee Oh Sees and FIDLAR are equally :
:' appropriate. ':
,: :,
: Boys is the new album by Cleveland's Herzog on Exit Stencil :
:' Recordings and is by far their most ambitious, cohesive, and ':
,: sonically diverse album to date. To record the album the band :,
: sequestered themselves in the Upstate New York confines of :
:' Marcata Recording and worked with acclaimed producer, Kevin S. ':
,: McMahon (The Walkmen, Titus Andronicus)---and the results are :,
: spectacular. Thematically Boys examines the inherent :
:' contradictions and ironies of being a working / struggling ':
,: musician, what exactly keeps one motivated while apparently on a :,
: treadmill. :
:' ':
,: Nick TolarÆs voice---part Neil Young, part Jeff Mangum---holds :,
: sway over the album, informing the well-crafted lyrics with a :
:' mood that conveys the right tenor of emotion. From the ':
,: doubled-vocaled, driving attack of ôFull Stick,ö the Thin :,
: Lizzy-style synchopated guitar solos of ôBoys Theme,ö and the :
:' Spector Wall of Sound on ôSatan Is Real,ö Herzog illustrates ':
,: that they are informed by the breadth of guitar-laden music but :,
: not confined to one form of expression. Nods to the past are :
:' present but Herzog is by all means in the here and now. ':
,: :,
: Boys is as catchy as it is diverse, inventive as it is informed, :
:' melodic as it is sonic, and enjoyable as it is enrapturing. ':
