Album Description
"Belonging to the post-Pixies generation of alternative bands, 20 Minute loop brings on the guitars and male/female vocal interplay that was at the core of that influential group's sound, while it puts its own futuristic and gentle spin on the blueprint for modern-alterna music. Vocalist and keyboardist Kelly Atkins and guitarist and vocalist Greg Giles share the bulk of the songwriting and together they've created their own world of song-- simultaneously bleak and melancholic but nonetheless hopeful. The sadness comes in the form of spooky and downbeat melodies (as on "Jubilation"), but there's a lighter take on "Moses" and especially on "All Manner" with its lovely "la la la" choruses. Doubt, fear and cynicism are covered over by shining, ascending melodies ("Force of Habit"). There's an undaunted quality to the strength and determination of 20 Minute Loop's sound and a soulfulness all too rare during the icy age of early 21st Century rock." All Music Guide, ! 9/01 <P>"...20 Minute Loop is one of the more refreshing musical experiences I've had in months and months. Decline of Day practically begs for stupid music review fantasy hybrid-type descriptions. So here goes: say you've got XTC. Now subtract the TC, and pair the remainder of John Doe and Exene Cervenka with J. Robbins in a six-by-six cell haunted by Frank Black's muse, with only a Radiohead CD, a Flannery O'Connor novel, and occasional visits from the members of Seely to break the psychosis...It's been a while since I thought I could only do an album a disservice by trying to describe it. What else can I say?" Pitchfork.com, 11/30/01Customer Reviews:
