Reader Reviews
It's about time bands start getting some influence from no-wave. Now that new-wave is making a bit of a comeback with the whole 80's revival of the past few years, it's about time no-wave reared its deformed head. In actuality Erase Errata are far more approachable than many of these early no-wavers, but don't hold that against them, they'll still try and punish you with their sounds. Piercing guitar notes over swirling bass and drums, these girls make you work to get their music. You can tell that these four girls from San Francisco have musical chemistry, and while at first listen you might think they learned to play five minutes ago, upon repeat listen you realize how damn catchy all the songs really are. Add a trumpet that sounds like something from an Angelo Badalamenti score and you've got one hell of a band. Erase Errata claim they wrote ten songs the first half an hour they were together, and you can tell a definite difference between their improvised songs and those more structured, but don't worry, I doubt you'll find dead heads listening Erase Errata jam out anytime soon; I bet Jerry Garcia would have had to smoke at least a pound of weed before he got into this. However, on this album it's apparent that there's less improvisation than on their last album, Other Animals. Besides, the often sparse arrangements make it absolutely certain that these chicks carry a punk aesthetic through and through. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
