Third World Struggle Blog, April 2007 Preview/Review/InterviewRIYL: The Physics of Meaning, Band of Horses, The Shins, Fields They say puns are a rare medium well done, but SeepeopleS’ new release, Apocalypse Cow Vol. 1, puts a steak in any gristly foretaste that might be nibbling at you. This album demonstrates not only the band’s exemplary application of wordplay, but their musical aptitude as well. Unsurprisingly, SeepeopleS claims to be an anarchist band, putting many of their political messages at the forefront of their lyrics when not about love or something even more boring like ‘personal and universal issues.’ Why is it that anarchists bands always have the best album titles? Anyway, this Asheville, NC band, relocated from Massachusetts, manages to easily hold their own along other southern indie rock greats like The Physics of Meaning and Band of Horses with this immense 15 song release on the band’s own Razcalz Recordz, a name of which its wordplay sorely lacks the same sense of whimsicality as Apocalypse Cow. 8.0/10 By DJ Ryan |
