"Mean Red Spiders seems to be carrying the torch of the heavenly droning sound all by itself...with a sound that draws equally from the syrupy, experimental pop of My Bloody Valentine, the jangling, sonic washes of Ride, and the ethereal female vocals of Lush...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!" Produced by Jeff McMurrich, Mean Red Spiders' third release, entitled "Still Life Fast Moving", is the band's most engaging and mature work to date. With a new clarity of arrangement, these songs are imbued with a melancholic, baroque-pop sensibility. Accordions, glockenspiels and moogs wash and soar over signature guitars, melodic bass and expressive percussion. The group's sound has evolved into a unique distillation of their diverse and ranging influences; The Velvet Underground, Stereolab, 13th Floor Elevators, Love, Can, Brian Eno, Sonic Youth, Spacemen 3 and Beach Boys. |
