I know I'm not alone in saying that I miss Pavement. Steven
Malkmus's boys always had a way of bending my sensitive ears
toward their skewed indie stylings, and there's a hole where
they once resided. Like a Stuntman see this too, and from the
evidence on show in "Stan Places" they have a desire to jump
right into the whole, guitars and amps in tow and rock the
hell out. Taking the song structures and style of Pavement and
infusing it with the electrical buzzes and over-production of
Khonnor or Tunng, they have perfected quite a lovely sound.
The blend of styles works very well for them and the resulting
tracks are summery and addictive without ever becoming
irritating. An interesting move for the London-based Highpoint
Lowlife label - and one which doesn't go unnoticed.
Recommended.
