-----------------------
The 11-track album acts a bit like a song cycle with its tales of going home
again and finding oneÆs place in the world, but itÆs not the product of a grand
plan.
ôMy influences are pretty obvious on the record,ö says Zelaya, who says everyone
from The Beatles to The Kinks to The Zombies were reference points. ôI wasnÆt
trying to deny anything I wanted to do. The old band, while it was haphazard, we
attempted to be coherent, and in trying to do that, we didnÆt sound coherent at
all. With this, IÆm trying not to sound directedùthese are the 11 songs that I
like the most, and I basically got my favorite musicians that I knew to play
them.ö
Though music from the Æ60s has had a profound effect on Zelaya, his allegiance
to the era isnÆt as cartoonish as some of his contemporaries. While itÆs true
that Second Story Maker probably wouldnÆt exist without John, Paul, Mick, and
Keith, itÆs just as easy to find comparisons to more recent artists like Elliott
Smith, Spoon, Wilco, and Cardinal. And, perhaps most importantly, the sum of
those parts is a timeless-sounding record thatÆs subtle and intriguingly
singular.
