| | Olde English Spelling Bee continues its near unprecedentedly good | |
| | run of form with this first official album release from New | |
| | Jersey's Julian Lynch, an experimental songwriting talent who's | |
| | very much in the ascendance. Lynch seems to operate in the same | |
| | sort of circles as Ducktails, Real Estate and Alex Bleeker & The | |
| | Freaks, pursuing a more substantial branch of washed-out pop than | |
| | many of their lo-fi styled peers. Mare is an album that carries | |
| | real songwriting presence, distilling influences from assorted | |
| | musical disciplines and cultures in a convincing, authoritative | |
| | manner: 'Just Enough' announces the album with a groaning, | |
| | dissolved vocal floating atop a gritty match-up of open-tuned, | |
| | slightly raga-ish guitars and hand-played percussion. On this | |
| | first piece Lynch at once seems fashionably tuned out and evasive | |
| | whilst also sounding like someone in complete command of his | |
| | music. It's not too often that you hear lo-fi, basement-style | |
| | aesthetics put to use on such a musically accomplished project as | |
| | this. Each piece seems to take on its own character, with 'A Day | |
| | At The Racetrack' offering a richly undulating line in clean and | |
| | atmospherically loaded psych-pop guitars, while 'Stomper' adopts | |
| | a homely, half-asleep analogue synth motif. Elsewhere 'Ruth My | |
| | Sister' delivers an incredibly tight downbeat jazz routine | |
| | fronted by beautiful reeds, choral vocals and flickering rhodes | |
| | pianos. 'Ears' is another triumphant highlight, and possibly | |
| | represents a more conventional songwriting style for Lynch - | |
| | there's even a full-blown J. Mascis-esque fuzzed up guitar solo, | |
| | which like everything else on this record is judged to | |
| | perfection. The warm and muffled production style of Mare gives | |
| | it a very potent sense of atmosphere and ambience, yet it also | |
| | means there's something a tad unassuming about it's progress | |
| | through the tracklisting. This undoubtedly works to its advantage | |
| | however, and in a very quiet and gradual way Mare makes its case | |
| | for being one of the year's standout albums. | |
