THE VINYL WORD: NEW BARONESS LP SCORES PITCHFORK 'BEST NEW MUSIC'

BUY THE VINYL HERE

When they started making burly, progressive sludge almost 10 years ago, Baroness weren’t teenagers: They were grown men with a refined, nuanced approach to heavy metal. Even in 2003, it wasn’t your typical Southern sludge swamp. That said, I doubt anyone listening then could’ve predicted Yellow & Green. The quartet’s new 18-song, 75-minute double album offers a broad, rich expanse of pretty, psychedelic, occasionally heavy, mostly straight-up rock that veers easily into pop, post-rock, and lulling ambient washes.

Frontman John Baizley stressed that, although it’s a double LP, Yellow & Green is not a concept record. That said, one theme certainly leaps out: that of aging, and the ways it changes our ideas surrounding music from one stage of adulthood to the next. Albums that force artists to go deep into themselves as people and as musicians tend to end up as accidental concept records, collections that document the time they pushed themselves to create, and the life they were otherwise living at that time. But this one feels very closely aligned to getting closer to 40, to feeling your bones creak a little more, your eyes getting a little weaker.

It’s in the lyrics with words that fixate on disappearances, fractures, sleep, bruises, bracing for death, failing hearts, and saying goodnight to your father. Or there’s the nostalgia of a line like, “when we were kids we never felt so young, take me to a hazy Sunday morning.” Then again, we also get plenty of blood (“this apple makes me sick, says this pig upon the stick, it’s my own blood”) and water, as both baptism and drowning, or beginning and end. (A track like “March to the Sea” has water in its title, but there’s something about its musicality that brings to mind early-1990s post-rock, too, and that post-Slint, June of 44-style obsession with anchors and sails.)

Baizley said the cover art, and the songs themselves, reflect the feeling of the moment before or after a disaster; of course, these are very different feelings, but I know what he means. It’s not all waiting around and recovering. There’s pure climactic catharsis, as you’d expect from Baroness, but these tracks work in a way Baroness songs haven’t previously. Instead of explosions, billows, and howls, we get a more meditative air, even on some of the bigger rockers like “Take My Bones Away” or the rollicking “Board Up the House”. Each mountain is chased with something a littler gentler. It’s thrilling hearing people this technically adept holding back a little, showing restraint, and cramming what they know into a pop nugget. — Pitchfork

NEW RELEASE OF THE WEEK: OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW'S 'CARRY ME BACK'

PREVIEW/BUY THE CD HERE
PREVIEW/BUY THE VINYL HERE
FREE RECORD TOTE WITH PURCHASE!

On Carry Me Back, Old Crow Medicine Show rediscovers the mojo they lost on 2008’s dour, self-serious Tennessee Pusher. It’s not that OCMS can’t pull off something weighty (the deeply humanist “I Hear Them All” from 2006’s Big Iron World remains one of their very best singles), but they’re at their best when they chase their bigger ideas with a shot of piss and vinegar. That Carry Me Back includes some of the band’s most riotous performances and their most fully developed, empathetic narratives makes the album a substantial rebound for the band.

Though there’s certainly an element of shtick to what OCMS does, there’s also a palpable sense of empathy that runs through Carry Me Back, making the album more than an exercise in empty posturing. That the band develops their songs of real duress so fully also makes the escapism of their more ribald cuts like “Steppin’ Out” and “Country Gal” seem all the more significant. The band’s spirited, breakneck-paced performances certainly enliven even the bleak tales of “Carry Me Back to Virginia” and “Bootlegger’s Boy,” but “Country Gal” and “Sewanee Mountain Catfight” find OCMS at their most tawdry and rambunctious. The narrators of the songs on the album may be socially and politically disenfranchised, but that doesn’t stop them from having a good time. — Slant
