"After two excruciating years of yellow lights, Rescue returns
with Paranoid. A collection of new and old, Paranoid came together
somewhat haphazardly, in pursuit of fresh approaches, while at the
same time, enhancing their signature wall of sound. Recorded over
several brief intervals between October 2005 and March 2006,
Paranoid bellows reflections of ten hour work days followed by
sessions that last until dawn. Chris Lazlo Koltay's (SSM, My
Morning Jacket, Demolition Doll Rods) production provides proof
that Rescue has no conventional format for which to define their
sound. Paranoid hazily drifts from unsuspecting organ
instrumentals, to indie rock anthems that proudly nod to their 90s
counterparts, into lo-fi sing-alongs and future college radio
classics, followed by ear-piercing weird heaviness. From the
driving "Run as You Are," Rescue makes no hesitation to flaunt the
splendor of Scheurman's and Verras's male/female vocal harmonies.
"Breaking My Own Heart" provides a catchy soundtrack to the
politics of libertine dating. Verras's orchestral skills are
highlighted on the socially optimistic "We Bond". Majewski's
guitar shrieks like a cat in heat, while Ryan Clancy makes 4/4
sound like 7/9 on "Please Erase Your Self From Me". Scheurman
critiques his own masculine conditioning as he softly sings: "I
keep on treating women like a fisherman fishing for the biggest
fish, but, they're never perfect, so, I just throw them back in"
on the working class psych-ballad, "The Leech". Finally, Sean
Clancy's gritty fingers tell their own story through deep bass
chords and baritone guitars on the album closer, "Sleepwalker,
Shit-Talker". Paranoid also includes guest appearances from
friends. One of many being Happy Chichester (The Afghan Whigs)
being gnarly on an organ in a rendition of "Through/Suit" adding
new life to an old live favorite that first saw light on Flamingo
Minutes." (superunison.com)
