I've been listening to the new plaid album for a while now, and I've got
to say I think it's all a bit...I dunno...underwhelming. It's nice
enough, but nothing really stands out - then again, I thought Not For
Threes was great, whereas loads of people on this list slated it. This
is more like llasas, ie lots of clean electro-ey stuff. The
super-cheesy 80's track (dang spots I think) is quite funnny though.
The press release is thoroughly bizarre - listen to this...
'Rest Proof Clockwork is simply complex, a bubble filled vacuum within a
flawed but perfect diamond, dogs turning into lions turning lights on in
a cupboard filled with cartons of electrons. When the spring winds
down, there is no preference or pain or aim until we can see the shining
winder again'
