Masonic - Too Far, Too Fast, Too Soon |
Giving Indie-Rock a very good name, Masonic blend a lot of cool pop sensibilities of Yo La Tengo, The Rentals, The Cars, Blondie, pop-song driven Sonic Youth into a seamless mixture of danceable rhythms, riff-pumping guitars and catchy keyboard melodies. 13 trax of pure pop bliss with an indie-rock edge, heavy hooks, simple melodies and achy vocals. "A breath of fresh, clean air in the insular world of indie rock....there`s something to be said for unabashed pop accessibility and Masonsic says it loud and proud"-Texas Music Monthly. If Kim Wilde were to make music in 2004, this is what it would sound like! "Masonic`s second effort is the most remarkable handmade pop album to come out of Austin in years. .. A big part of what distinguishes Masonic is their ability to assimilate hints of psychedelia and New Wave into a solid indie pop paradigm without reducing them to kitschy contrivances. They only bring in the theremin, Moog, and Rhodes piano when those implements tangibly service their songs. Masonic writes some great ones, too...Too Far. Too Fast. Too Soon is smart without being overthought and emotive without being overwrought. It`s pop that doesn`t scream, "Hey, I`m pop!" That`s how they get you."-AustinChronicle. Best indie-rock release of 2004 thus far!
