I find it hard to get a grip on Death May Be Your Santa Claus of Second Hand, but it is certainly an original piece of work. I can hear fragments that are somewhat similar to Moody Blues, early Mothers of Invention, Beatles from the Sgt. Pepper era and the Vanilla Fudge.

Glasgow guitar rock force Aereogramme are a surprisingly pleasing and interesting act whose supernatural dynamic techniques level most of their competition. Drifting out of thick sonic wanderings and spacy keyboard sounds into heavily distorted and explosive crescendos, the group is at times as powerful as the emotionally expansive early days of Sunny Day Real Estate.

Having spent a fair amount of time huddled under Portland’s late-year cloak in the past few months, I understand how the city—fair of roses and rain—birthed a band like Menomena. It inherits shaggy American Apparel cynics—every coffee house youth hooded and lost to you—out of swashbucklers and Shanghai pasts, much the way Menomena tangles itself in so much yore and yesterday—from the Beach Boys to Joy Division, the Flaming Lips to early-era Radiohead—in order to create something willfully idiosyncratic, and, as of 2003, downright novel against the hovel.
