Description
when the downbeat drums and lonely guitar twang come in as a forbearer for the opening lyrics "starting off with a slow dance/the room sways with rented lights" those cynics listening to the debut record from Why Make Clocks may instinctively open their rock-cliche bible to the alt-country section and start flinging about unnecessary Palace references. Granted, the thoughtful vocals of Dan Hutchison may evoke visions of Will Oldham cooing with an early Michael Stipe, but it's the crisp energy of the music that makes WMC stand out from the pigeonholing. Rotating smoothly between mid-tempo pop songs and slower tracks brimming with a mellow forcefulness, WMC breathes life into the compositions by accentuating their arrangements. Through the tutelage of wonder-producer AJ Mogis(Lullaby for the Working Class, Bright Eyes), they continuously evoke a subtly building passion. "Spotlight," for example, spirals in a slowly controlled fashion for more than 10 minutes, using emotive guitar bursts as a cover for the intricate piano and organ work pushing the tune just above the surface. This musicality sets WMC apart by constantly pushing forward with powerfully flowing melodies that emphasize their moody lyrics. Combined, you have tunes in a class with a new breed of outstanding alt-countriers, even if they're of a different school--CMJ
