In his thirties and no longer the poster boy of the post-grunge generation, Evan Dando returns a wiser and seemingly chastened man on <I>Baby I'm Bored</I>, his first studio album since the Lemonheads' 1996 finale, <I>Car Button Cloth</I>. His well documented difficulties behind him, it's heartening that Dando has returned with a set of genuinely lovely songs. Visceral, vital, and yearning, <I>Baby I'm Bored</I> boasts a wealth of gems. The opener, "Repeat," is vulnerable yet quietly resolute; "It Looks Like You" is as spectral and plangent as the Byrds; "Hard Drive" rehabilitates that widely despised genre, the list song. "The Same Thing," on the other hand, hints at mental turmoil ("I can't believe how far I slipped"), while "Why Do You Do This to Yourself?" berates a kamikaze party animal over the most muted! of acoustic strums. There is resolution in "All My Life," which gratefully delineates newer, sounder perspectives ("All my life I thought I needed the things I didn't need at all"), while the giddy, bucolic closer, "In the Grass All Wine Colored," is as pristine and pure as a baby's conscience. Members of Calexico, Giant Sand, Come, and Spacehog chip in support, but the focus is fully on Dando, an artist reborn, restored, and far from bored. <I>--Ian Gittins</I>Album Description
The first studio album from Evan Dando in the seven years since the demise of The Lemonheads. 'Baby I'm Bored' was recorded in New York, L.A., Boston & Arizona over a six month period. Its a great record & is already going down really well with the press.Album Details
