CD Reviews

Pleasantly creative, not too grandiose or highbrow
Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 02/14/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Nice! A consistently creative, compelling set of multi-textured, twistily melodic indiepop... The band intuitively searches out unusual sounds, unsettling rhythms, novel melodic progressions... in essence, stuff that's just weird enough to keep your ears on the edge of their seats. It's pleasant -- poppy and accessible in its own way -- but full of inventive sonic novelties, and a relaxed forward momentum that gives it just enough of a "pop" feel to keep us happy. Anyway, I liked it."
Purely Swell
A. Norris | Kansas | 11/05/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"While this does not displace 41 as my favorite Swell, it is a viable addition to the Swell library. It has the songs that are fun to listen to the first time through (Next to Nothing, War Comes Down), and then there are the songs that drag you in a bit more slowly. These are the ones that will become my "Swell staples" (Always Everything, California Arizona). There's only one song on the whole disc that I'm not crazy about, and that's "Say Goodbye."It's absolutely terrific headphone music, and great for listening to while you work, drive, or just about anything. I highly recommend Swell to anyone. They deserve to be heard."
Painless

"I was first introduced to Swell years ago in the office of a certain Dentist, who I think was phasing out nitrous oxide in favor of musical hypnosis..."Follow the drum line, my son, Just follow the drums..." Well, anyway, this album is different. By Swell standards, 'Whenever You're Ready' is up-tempo, relentlessly. Upbeat, full of insight and hope, this work is truly a pleasant, painless, departure. Hope the train stays on this track for a while. Thanks."
