AGESANDAGES - ALRIGHT YOU RESTLESS (LP)

AgesandAges Alright You Restless on LP

Recorded in 8 days with producer Kevin Robinson (Viva Voce, Blue Giant) at Amore!phonics, frontman Tim Perry says the secret was keeping things live with the seven-piece Portland group performing its songs as a full unit and singing together into a shared microphone. The resulting record sounds alternately sharp (the explosive, riff-packed opener, "No Nostalgia"; the complex, twisting "These Elbows") and warm (the exotic and haunting "The Peaks"; the slow-building "When I Was Idle"), with the the band's rich percussive elements weaving into the campfire pop strums of acoustic guitar and graceful flourishes of strings and piano. There's no mistaking that the group uses every member to his or her fullest, the most rewarding result being the layered vocal harmonies that comprise the backbone of AgesandAges' timeless sound.
