...That something is not in the songs but in the singer. For years, Young's legion of fans has always loved the music but not necessarily the man. Now the chameleon-like Young--who has alternated among introspective folkie, protest rocker and reverb reveler--has morphed again, this time into something far friendlier. The rendition of the song Heart of Gold ("I want to live/ I want to give ...") feels as if it were written specifically for the film, not for 1972's Harvest. Young, in his new balance of power and gentleness, has rarely looked so comfortable...
...lyrics need to be particularly creative. Much of the album recalls songs such as the sprawling “Cobra” off the band’s 2002 E.P., “Chocolate and Ice.” But even with the familiar emphasis on blanketing reverb, soaring vocal lines, minor key melodies, and heavy breakdowns, “Z” reformats the band’s modus operandi. Legendary producer John Leckie (Radiohead, Stone Roses) seems to have contributed heavily to this evolution. His touch is most evident in the futuristic feel of several tracks, such...
...fans, The Great Destroyer, which Low released in January, has a different feel to it than many of their past albums. Coming after a whirlwind near-breakup followed by a breakthrough opening for Radiohead, Destroyer presents some novel sounds for the band, making equal use of melody, silence and reverb-driven dissonance.

There seems to be a pop sensibility peeking out from behind their austere sound, as something resembling a more...
...Russell Wolff band was Harvard’s own Reasonable People’s League (RPL) featuring Greg J. Gagnon ’05 and partner AKA, both of whom took a good 15 to 20 minutes to set up their dual-laptop act. During this time, Gagnon streamed reverb-enhanced “Simpsons” clips paired with a broken backbeat and whirring turntables. Upon starting the actual performance piece, Gagnon indulged in some very bizarre laptop electronica and trance that seemed centered around atonal passages matched with thumping bass and punchy drum loops. The dissonance...
...Kelly Hogan—take on several different styles in this remarkably diverse collection. The opening track “If You Knew” features bold vocals over an Ennio Morricone-esque groove that is augmented by Rauhouse’s tremendous feel and copious amounts of reverb and tremolo. “Hex” has more of an old-time high lonesome country groove thanks largely to the dobro playing but also to the acoustic guitar strumming that complements Case’s slightly sweetened vocal stylings. Finally, Case delivers a tremendous Grace Slick impression...
