Vancouver trio the Poison Dart can be loosely classified with the rest of
the post-Decemberists wave of folk-rockers who have appeared in the Pacific
Northwest over the last few years, alongside Norfolk & Western, Shelley
Short, and just about everyone else on the Hush Records label. That doesn't
tell the whole story, however, because along with the bits of folk and
country evident on Get Hot, the Poison Dart prove themselves to be a solid
indie pop trio in the mature tradition, with flashes of everyone from the
Olivia Tremor Control's D.I.Y. psychedelia ("Pamphleteers") to the less
goofy side of Barenaked Ladies ("Fragments"). The star of the show is
primary singer Megan McDonald, whose agreeably lived-in voice suggests what
Lucinda Williams must have sounded like before all the cigarettes, but the
multi-instrumentalist trio members share the spotlight to varying degrees. A
charming, somewhat rustic, but never overbearingly "rootsy" debut, Get Hot
is the sound of a band with a wide range of options to pursue and no
particular need to settle on just one.
