Album Description

With the signature horn-like and buzzing moog completely replacing the vocals, a shimmering foregrounded guitar unveiled from the depths of reverbs past, and the full integration of guest Wurlitzer and keyboard wizard, Jason Terchin, The Timeout Drawer have restated their sound. Tactful melodies guide you through corridors of pop refrains, moody sedation, ambient jazz sessions, heated emotionall fits and catchy anthem rock. These nine new, carefully structured songs lend an original subtext to the post-rock/electronic genre, with nods to the dry instrumentation and rock grandeur of Mogwai, the melancholic and heartfelt guitar work of early Cure, and the misinterpreted yet emotive jazz renderings of a 5th grade music class. Sad, yet optimistic and upbeat, ADF is a montage of emotional stirrings and daydreamed adventures...

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars the heart of the machine.......2002-12-05

this is one record for which the adjectives "textured" and "intricate" seem inadequate.

beneath its sullen, robotic exterior and cascading electronic flourishes, this record succeeds mightily in expressing fundamentally human emotions and states of mind: unlimited possibility, regret, nostalgia, inspiration, uncertainty (hence the title, one might assume) and most of all hope.

two records into their career, the timeout drawer continues to create the thinking person's soundtrack to the mundanities and small miracles of everyday life. listen and understand.
