Madder Rose's The Love You Save EP could be their best record. It is only
four tracks but they are really wonderful. They dial the bubbling
excitement of the Jackson 5's "The Love You Save" down to a low simmer,
turning the track into a mid-tempo groover with Mary Lorson's vocals
schoolgirl sweet and smooth. It is one of the better covers of a Motown
song by an indie rock band. They also work magic on Irma Thomas' "Ruler of
My Heart" with Lorson again turning in an enchanting vocal while the band
heads for Cowboy Junkies territory (at least until Billy CotΘ starts going
wild on guitar, that is). The two band originals are among their best
CotΘ's "No Avail" is a slowly rollicking ballad with a great hook, Lorson's
"Diane" an aching, intimate lament with some fine feedbacked guitar from
CotΘ. The group's full-length albums were always a bit uneven, this EP is a
short, sharp blast of concentrated indie rock goodness. Well worth the
effort of tracking it down both for fans of the band and for fans of
well-played emotional indie rock.
