Sebadoh Flac

Young Team, Mogwai's first full-length album fulfills the promise of their early singles and EPs, offering a complex, intertwining set of crawling instrumentals, shimmering soundscapes, and shards of noise. Picking up where Ten Rapid left off, Mogwai use the sheer length of an album to their advantage, recording a series of songs that meld together – it's easy to forget where one song begins and the other ends. The record itself takes its time to begin, as the sound of chiming processed guitars and murmured sampled vocals floats to the surface. Throughout the album, the sound of the band keeps shifting, and it's not just through explosions of noise – Mogwai isn't merely jamming, they have a planned vision, subtly texturing their music with small, telling details. When the epic "Mogwai Fears Satan" draws the album to a close, it becomes clear that the band has expanded the horizons of post-rock, creating a record of sonic invention and emotional force that sounds unlike anything their guitar-based contemporaries have created.

A collection of love songs put out by Sub Pop is probably right up there with speed metal operas or Sesame Street espionage for gallant incongruity, but like Jeepster's It's a Cool, Cool Christmas, it pleases the unspoken infomercial compilation fan hidden inside every cantankerous indie kid. (…) Steven Jesse Bernstein, the early-'90s Pacific Northwest answer to an abused Allen Ginsberg, or the Vaselines, for instance, offer brutal and funny works, which probably scared away Nirvana-seeking mall wanderers who might've been intrigued by the label's reputation or songs with titles like "Rory Rides Me Raw." ~AMG

This year (2014) marks Yo La Tengo’s 30th anniversary, and they’re celebrating it by reissuing their sixth album, Painful, released nearly a decade into their career. The cardigan-cozy sound of the record effectively established Yo La Tengo as indie rock’s great romantics, and featured a couple of significant firsts for the trio.

Considered by many to be the leading lights of the Seattle grunge scene of the late 1980s/early 1990s, and perhaps the most influential rock band of Generations X & Y, Nirvana was a powerful trio of musicians who brought a unique aesthetic to a growing-stale rock scene…
