Details:
This is Feed''s new release. It was produced by Phil Ek (Pretty Girls Make Graves, Built to Spill, Modest Mouse) and is already getting lots of college radio airplay, including KEXP, Seattle, where it was on John Richard''s NW top ten list, and on KRTU, San Antonio, where it was the #1 disc in rotation.
Feed has been together for just over seven years, but didn''t get around to releasing its debut CD EP, Safer Than Driving until 2001. Its Americana-edged indie pop and well-crafted lyrics made an immediate impression on college radio stations across the country.
Encouraged by unfailingly positive reviews that compared Feed to everyone from Wilco and Varnaline to Coldplay and Cracker, the quartet went back in the studio with Ek in the spring of 2003. The sessions produced the 12 brand new tunes that constitute its latest eponymous CD, also self-released. The new batch of songs showed a depth-an ability to fully integrate a lot of styles and sounds-that the EP may have lacked. Perry did some of his best work, crafting impressionistic lyrics about shady characters, heartbroken losers and, uh, a donkey named Prancer. Tom Waits would be proud.
Shady characters and donkeys aside, there is nonetheless a sweetness to Feed''s songs, a blissfully perfect combination of strong vocals, soaring choruses and fluid guitar work that punctuates the quirky arrangements. The tunes are catchy enough to find their way into heavy rotation in your head after a few listens.
