All this publication's reviews. The best record of his career, a collision of the idiosyncratic charms of Portastatic with the portastattic rock power of Superchunk.

It has the "no-longer-a-side-project" feel. Lafcadio Hearn is highly regarded as an early writer and researcher on Japan. Jam Room Music Festival.

Dusted Reviews

Besides being a friendlier sonic cousin of Indoor Living, Bright Ideas is not unlike Speak Kindly of Your Volunteer Fire Department, Robert Pollard's solo album, in that it plays to an indie elder statesman's strengths and may get core fans all frenzied again.

Bright Ideas is front-loaded with aces. On It Ain't the Same, Minneapolis singer-songwriter Jack Klatt offers hope that love and joy can still overcome the darkness of a world turned upside down. Band on the Wall. Monique Truong's The Sweetest Fruit irresistibly reconsiders his legacy from the perspective of the women whose lives were affected by him.

After the big guitar pop of the previous three tracks, the song arrangements spread out a bit and become more varied and flawed, the country-tinged "Little Fern" is the record's lone dudalternating between string-laced introspective ballads "Truckstop Cassettes" and "Full of Stars" and a few bouncy, descant rockers "The Soft Rewind". In any case, it's been over four years, and Superchunk fans have been sustaining proudly on the b-side compilation Cup of Sanda few archival releases dished out in limited quantities, intermittent live shows, The Arcade Fire, probably a few other Merge releases, and of course Portastatic, Superchunk frontman Mac MacCaughan's side project, which really isn't a side thing anymore.

Portastatic - Bright Ideas

The differences between Sylvia Nickerson's realistically-depicted homeless and the blob-like privileged establishes Creation 's central dichotomy and critique. The weakest track may be the opener "Bright Ideas", but listeners are rewarded through the remaining disc.

As good as Bright Ideas is, though, I still can't recommend it over say, the last Superchunk record. A ringing guitar lead introduces "Through with People", an incredibly bright and buoyant rocker that once again displays MacCaughan's gift for channeling his frustrations into a joyous pop anthem. The time is long past when one could consider Portastatic a lo-fi side project.

Lost Bayou Ramblers founder Louis Michot pays tribute to friend and mentor Ethel Mae Bourque with a touching collection of recordings that capture her inimitable spirit and the spirit of Louisiana. Mac has thrown his fans a solid here, recruiting Chunk guitarist Jim Wilbur on bass and his brother Matt once again to play drums, heading to San Francisco and into a proper studio and recording the first Portastatic record that harkens back to the electric whimsy of Indoor Living and Here's Where the Strings Come In.

The songs are as strong as any Superchunk release or if not better. The big highlight then comes with the penultimate and irresistible "Center of the World", another canorous rocker built on kinetic strands of Chunk DNA that will have old fans cathartically pogoing off their couches, tapping their feet, or at least smiling widely. TOPY and Genesis P-Orridge's knowing adoption of cult iconography and organizing principles quickly slid from satiric emulation to full embrace -- and we all went along with it.

The aforementioned songs rank easily with Mac's best. Debut 'Maria', Fado Singer Carminho Finds Beauty in Melancholy Maria finds Carminho at her most intimate and personal, a collection of original tunes that honor the past while still defining her own voice as a trailblazing vocalist.

The song sequencing makes this a quick enjoyable listen. Nonetheless, with Bright Ideas there is good news. Prolific singer-songwriter Wallis Bird tackles inequality and a world in crisis with her compelling, freewheeling new album, Woman. The Greatest Alternative Singles of the '80s: Electro duo the Juan MacLean release a flat collection of previously released house singles on The Brighter the Light.

Every track here is strong
