Customer Reviews:
New Millennium Dreampop.......2000-08-20
The problem with early-to-mid 90s dreampop was, mesmerizing as those sonic explorations were, the music was emotionally distant. You responded intellectually, enjoying the triumph of melody over noise. In some cases, you'd learn to love it - Sonic Youth's A Thousand Leaves and My Bloody Valentine's Loveless are highwater marks - but most of it was more trouble than pleasure (Spacemen 3 and others I can't recall). Six by Seven traffic in new millennium dreampop, but they make a deep, hard rocking impression. The Closer You Get, their second release, betters their first with varied tempos, sharper songs, more orchestrated clatter. Two songs are genre masterpieces: the gothic "Ten Places to Die", the roiling "My Life Is an Accident". When they can't get their songwriting in order, they do the next best thing: they rave, which usually counts for something.
Five by Seven.......2000-07-04
Six by Seven are one of the brightest sparks in British music for some time, something which their second album "The Closer You Get" easily shows. Whilst the first album had good songs and promising signs it never really captured the raw power of Six by Seven live. "Eat Junk Become Junk" is a screaming dirty rampage of a song setting the tone for the whole album which makes you stop and listen. Just when you think the pace has dropped they'll launch something like "Slab Square" at you to knock you off your feet. How long can Six by Seven knock on the UK's and USA's door before somebody will listen?
6x7 Closer You Get.......2000-04-25
6x7 come up with the goods yet again. Closer is a much more mixed bag than Things but none the worse for that. Most of the tracks here are already live favourites and the album sound is more in keeping with the live shows than previous releases. From the opening Eat Junk (marvellous) to the closing 100 and something Foxhall Road the sounds range from punk (towards the start) to Radiohead/Floyd/Joy Division towards the end. However, as good as the album is, it cannot truly represent the live fury that is a 6x7 gig, go seem them soon!
