CANADIAN INVASION | Three Cheers For The Invisible Hand And it’s his tightest, catchiest record yet.ġ8.
How far would he go? Watch Me Fall found him singing “I Can’t Do It Anymore,” “It Ain’t Gonna Save Me” and “You Faked It All Away.” It’s a collection of songs by a man no longer able to hold it all together and unwilling to even care. With his band quitting mid-tour (to later join Wavves, no less blasphemy!) and Reatard getting attacked onstage by multiple fans at a show in Austin earlier this month, it’s almost as if he was trying to live up to this album’s title. “In The Dreamlife You Need A Rubber Soul” ( download ) : Devoid of any pressure, the result is a really great, relaxed and eclectic pop album. It’s not some grand comeback record, either. Mister Pop is not the easy-to-digest collection of simple pop songs the band could have made. Knowing this almost makes an LP from the Clean even more of an event. Between Robert Scott and brothers David and Hamish Kilgour, the three members have released more than 30 albums with other projects. Still, it’s hard to hold anything against the Clean. A band that releases five albums in 30 years isn’t exactly what you would call prolific.
