Album Description Careening from slow to fast and loud to quiet, playing songs about stalking a cosmetics counter employee, visiting a friend in the hospital, and sneaking into Golden Gate Park after hours, Seattle three-piece the Malinks pull another all-nighter to deliver I Can't Shake Last Night, the band's third cd. The Malinks continue to broaden their sound beyond the fuzzy guitar-bass-drums of their early days, adding Wurlitzer piano, melodica, and even synth loops to their expanding sonic palette. Lyrically, the new cd is a moody exploration of complex break-ups and secret make-ups. The cd was produced by Johnny Sangster (Dear John Letters, the Makers, Mudhoney) and released on Seattle label Disaster Records. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsAwesome album! tamibroc | Seattle, wa United States | 11/20/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I just bought this record, and I love it. Listened to it driving in the rain last night. Great lyrics, listen to them, they'll haunt you just a little." I wish I could swear in here Kelly Gavin | San Francisco, CA | 05/31/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Cause I can't come up with strong enough words to tell you how much I love THE MALINKS!!This album smashed all my preconceptions. I found the whole cd to be cathartic, intimate and soothing. I rarely drive without it. I'm giving it my summer '04 cd award, which means nothing to anyone else, but says a lot to me.Song writing is so good I'm still trying to work around that not swearing rule. Malinks are a band to watch out for...just buy it and see for yourself.Also -If you get a chance: seeeee 'em live, k?" Good Stuff rjbinney | Philadelphia, PA United States | 12/31/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Last time out, the Malinks were mighty clever - naming the album "No One Gets Hurt", and kicking it off with a track titled "Move a Muscle". Contradictions? Consequences for actions taken? You bet. But if being clever were all it took to succeed, we'd all be lining up for the Refreshments, and Blink-182 would have disappeared in, well, a blink...A new drummer on the second disc, and the Malinks clear the decks with this one. For a very brief moment - as in for four, maybe five beats - it sounds like they maybe have listened to too much Jimmy Eat World. But then, the Seattle trio hits a stride that Jimmy never will - the fuzz and staccato rhythyms of "Clean Living", the irrational, nonstop drive of "Hey 21", and the romantic teeny-bop Fender Rhodes on "Quiet As Its Kept" make this easily one of the most enjoyable releases of the year - indie or otherwise. (And that's just the first three tracks!)So many bands are busy whining about their emotions - standing in a crowded room, peeling scabs, showing off their wounds in a pathetic attempt for sympathy. Chris Lorraine's lyrics and harmonies show evidence that he has fought, and lost, the same battles - but instead of using his voice as a rock and roll Bactine commercial, he picks at the scabs because, well, it's kinda cool. Like all bands that cut their teeth night after night onstage, there is a calm confidence throughout - in the quiet moments especially.So just buy the thing already."
