Album Description

Produced by Joe Chiccarelli(Beck, U2, Rufus Wainright, Hole). Careen have been a band since 2002 based in Portland, OR. Newcomers in the longstanding NW Pop/Rock/Alternative music world that brought us The Posies, Pavement, Dandy Warhols, Everclear, and The Shins. Twelve songs about girls and God, love and hate songs. Songs about the art of collision and explosion. Pop rock songs for your stiff sugar-fix playing alongside heavy sad songs, manic mood swings and short attention spans. Just like that.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars couture quality.......2005-07-22

Crash Couture is likely the least "indie" album we have received in our existence that introduces itself to us without a proper label. With octopus-ink slick production (thanks to one Joe Chiccarelli, of U2, Hole, etc.. note) and and album filled with songs begging to fill the FM airwaves, I would describe Careen's latest effort as an album set to sell (or "sail") the band high on the mainstream market.

Equipped with a bio dropping names like Foo Fighters and and Fountains of Wayne, that is exactly the crowd (and a huge demographic of album buyers) I expect Crash Couture to grasp. With a full range of the pop/rock formula - from relationship anthems ("Who Loves You", "Tragedy") right up to full force guitar/keyboard/bang on the drum burners like album opener "Lights" - you have every choice to mold the proper inception of Careen from the get go.
