Synopsis

Product Description

Look Mom ? no pro tools. As with their debut Make A Friend LP, West Coast indie rock artists Recliner recorded and mixed Tranquilizer entirely analog for a warm, buttered-bacon sound that tone freaks everywhere will enjoy sinking their ears into. And while the contagious hooks and driving rhythms are still there in heaps, Tranquilizer finds the band exploring a more confident range of headspace - from the melancholy 'Leaving Hollywood' to the frenetic 'Float Away.' Recliner also increased their sound palette this time around, relaxing their guitars/bass/drums formula to include bassoon, Wurlitzer, and yes, even a Juno 60 synthesizer. Memorable backing vocals are also provided compliments of the Hill sisters from We Are Invisible (weareinvisible.com). The result is a fuller, multi-dimensional sound that reveals a little more with each listen. Considering that Make A Friend spawned two nationally-recognized videos (Fuse TV, RollingStone.com), as well as licensing tracks for three MTV show soundtracks and the platinum-selling ESPN 2K5 series of videogames, Tranquilizer has a lot to live up to. One listen should prove that it?s up to the challenge.

CD Reviews

Positive, uplifting & highly enjoyable rock music

Kylix Obelix | 02/03/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The compositions are thick and muscular and very enjoyable. Rhythmically the music is very well-played. There is not a single bad or average track on the album. All the songs are great. This is positive uplifting music. It can be used as party music and also as wake-up music during quiet morning hours. Without exaggerating I can sincerely declare that "Tranquilizer" is the finest rock album I have heard in many years. In a world of digital where most music sounds mechanical, cold and digitally sterile, Recliner's music is like a breath of fresh air. The CD has a very fat and warm analog sound; very smooth sound while still retaining a slight rough edge that gives the music its necessary bite and attack. I love it! There is lots of clarity in the mix with a good amount of seperation between the instruments. From the recording to the mixing to the mastering and to the music itself, I am very impressed with all aspects of the production. This is the way rock music should sound."
