- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
The NY Times said: "The Carnivores' keyboardist, Caitlin Lang, is classically
trained in piano, but on "If I'm Ancient" (Double Phantom), the group's
appealingly messy second album, she sounds equally trained in punk barking.
On the breatless "Parent's Attic," she's petulant, and on the riveting
garage-rock number "Summer Shades," she's sweetly shrieking. Ms. Lang shares
vocal duties with the guitarist Nathaniel Higgins, who sings drily, and the
bassist Philip Frobos, whose bright tone anchors the band's songs, which have
become more digressive and dirtier since it released it's first album, "All
Night Dead U.S.A." (The band also includes the drummer Ross Politi.) That
album had a tropical undercurrent in the mode of early Vampire Weekend or Abe
Vigoda. It's here, too, on songs like "Cause She Never Stops," which could be
the soundtrack for a chase scene on surfboards. "Georgia Power Company" has
it, too, but also shows the band's development, drowning it beneath a woozy
psychedelic haze."
