::
:: -----
::
:: In the coming weeks, maybe months, you may hear the name
:: Spanish For 100 being thrown around in the same way as that
:: of Arcade Fire was a couple years ago. Not that there are too
:: many parallels to be drawn sonically, more that there is an
:: air of excitement around the release of this album that has,
:: seemingly, come out of nowhere, from a band hardly mentioned
:: outside of the US.
::
:: Say What You Want To Say To Me is an album of surprising
:: depth and constant quality. The title track's endless guitar
:: pirouettes and hopeful vocal harmonies bring to mind Nada
:: Surf and even Biffy Clyro, whilst the slow-burning 'See Now'
:: and 'Red' are filled with the same nervous energy as
:: Aereogramme's late-era meditative offerings.
::
:: Yet these changes don't make the album seem pockmarked, nor
:: do they make for uneasy listening. Spanish For 100 have
:: mastered all these elements and, just about, created a sound
:: of their own; a sound somewhere between the just-off-MOR
:: college rock of their home country and the indie-rock of UK
:: underground stalwarts such as Jetplane Landing and Hundred
:: Reasons. Yet for 75 per cent of the time they operate at
:: quite a distance a way from either of these touchstones.
:: Perhaps not surprisingly for a band so eager to juxtapose
:: their collective, and individual, influences, there is a
:: confident attitude throughout the album, but there is no sign
:: of an ego anywhere; vocalist Aaron Starkey shies away from
:: self-referencing, despite writing in the first person. The
:: band û thankfully - avoid stepping into muso territory.
::
:: Whilst this is by no means an all-time classic album, it is
:: hard to find a fault with Say What You Want To Say To Me
:: thatÆs really worth focusing upon. Be sure to check them out
:: before the inevitable waves of widespread critical adulation
:: thrust them into the limelight.
::
:: 8/10
::
:: -----
::
:: Say What You Want To Say To Me was recorded by Johnny
:: Sangster (Mudhoney, The Briefs, Young Fresh Fellows) and
:: mixed by Phil Ek.(Band of Horses, Built to Spill, The Shins.)
::
:: The Seattle band, Spanish for 100, with their third record,
:: takes a sonic and emotional journey as they explore the
:: tension between tensioned filled moments of frantic energy
:: and slower, contemplative, evocative moods.
::
:: Recorded at Chromasound and Avast! studios over the course of
:: two years, Say What You Want To Say To Me is a definitive
:: work of strong songwriting, evocative vocals and complex,
:: emotional dueling guitars.
