This retal CD has one bonus track compared to the previous promo rip.
They've been described as Billie Holiday fronting the White Stripes,
and while that doesn't begin to do justice to the Noisettes'
originality, it's not a bad way to start talking about their sound. On
their striking full-length debut, What's the Time Mr. Wolf?, the band
moves from revved-up arty garage rock to soul and jazz-tinged balladry
-- sometimes during the course of one song -- like it's on rails. This
might not be the most natural, or expected, combination of sounds on
paper, but for most of the album, it works amazingly well. It would be
easy to say that singer Shingai Shoniwa is the reason for the
Noisettes' musical alchemy, and with good reason: she can sing and
scream with the best of them, sounding effortlessly, coolly beautiful
on "Hierarchy" and fiery and fearless on "Don't Give Up." However, the
rest of the Noisettes have just as much range as Shoniwa, delivering
the acoustic filigrees of "Count of Monte Christo" and radical gospel
-punk of "Sister Rosetta (Capture the Spirit)" with the same passion.
What's the Time Mr. Wolf?'s best moments make the band's balancing act
seem easy. "Scratch Your Name" and "Bridge to Canada" sound violent
and hopeful, full of anthemic choruses and soaring harmonies; "Iwe"
makes this approach fiercely romantic. On the album's more
experimental second half, however, the band teeters a bit. Songs like
the awkward "Mind the Gap" and "Cannot Even (Break Free)," which
begins as smoky, hypnotic jazz and gets dangerously close to being
tuneless and shrill, are more overwhelming than fascinating.
Nevertheless, the Noisettes rarely let their ambitions get the better
of them. Any band capable of fusing such divergent sounds and ideas so
completely and compellingly is worth hearing -- and watching.
