5 out of 5 stars high highs indeed.......2002-09-17

if you dug the first koester record, which i did, this one's a real eye-opener: whereas "oh turpentine" was a wee-hours, insomniac's tour of past romantic conquests and libidinous lost opportunities, "high highs" is a blast of morning sunlight through a grimy bedroom window. less stripped down, more diverse -- with more rockers, and an almost 80s techno feel at times -- "high highs" takes on familiar koester themes in engagingly unfamiliar ways. there's a sense here of conflicting genres being wrestled into submission, and, thankfully, they refuse to comply: the keyboard is, weirdly, king on this record, and provides the record's extreme moods, laying down pastoral orchestral overblow a la led zeppelin on "blood red poppies" and busting out the kraftwerkian teutonic funk on "vow" and "transistor sister." a truly ambitious, ante-upping sophomore effort from a fine songwriter, with heady production from sparklehorse-associate alan weatherhead.
