Fallow (CD)
Even though the Weakerthans feature bassist extraordinaire John K. Samson (formerly of Propaghandi), there is no way this could even come close to a musical comparison with his former band. These guys are a lot more laid-back, almost folky at times but in a way that couldn't be categorized as a hippie band. Lyrically, Samson's pen has a sharp, poetic tone, making it impossible for one not to be taken into his stories. Just imagine Jawbreaker meeting the Smoking Popes, but with a relaxed energy level that doesn't bore the listener. They even successfully incorporate a bow saw into their music -- how about that for innovation? ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide

| this album reminds me a lot of jets to brazil, but more accessible and down to earth for us who don't worship jack kerouac. their songs are well played and diverse, adding to their accessibility. add on top of that underlying political themes and anti corporate attitudes and you've got this album. this is the kinda stuff the radio should be playing. | |
