Review

“While theyþve settled comfortably into the Americana niche, Utah Carol donþt fit its stereotyp

Tracklisting
theyþre certainly not ashamed of their country twang, but they donþt write painfully sincere songs about factory closings and windblown ghost towns either. Their approach is heavy on American nostalgia, but itþs more of a governing aesthetic than a specific set of sonic cues. Song titles like ûûSilver Space Rocketûû, ûûSoda Fountainûû and ûûMr. Rogersûû hint at a definite fondness for the tail end of Atomic Age America - a time when futuristic concepts were tempered by cultural naivete and multi-generational camping trips still seemed like a pretty cool way to spend a vacation. In Utah Carolþs America, musical variety is the spice of life. Comfort... offers a little bit of everything, from the subdued country-pop of ûûMisfitsûû to the straightforward and catchy jangle of the aforementioned ûûSilver Space Rocketûû. ûûSee the Sunûû gives an offhanded nod to proto-psychedelic sixties pop, and ûûAngelûû energizes its country sing-along with Esquivelian hi-fi sound effects. The thoroughly modern ûûSoda Fountainûû, with its looped percussion, rests comfortably next to the traditional, gospel-tinged, banjo-pluckinþ ûûPromised Landûû. ûûNellieûû appropriates seductive jazz rhythms, and ûûThe Way of the Buffaloûû sounds like an application for Elephant Six membership, carefully designed to get a ûûthumbs upûû from Ladybug Transistor and Neutral Milk Hotel.” (Splendidzine)
