Amazon.com There are songs designed for listening, for dancing, and for singing in the shower--Bring It Back hits all the bases. For their Barsuk Records debut, husband and wife duo Kori (vocals, organ) and Jason (vocals, drums) kick up more of an exuberant ruckus than ever before. They may be a twosome, but over a dozen musicians guest on their fuller-sounding fourth album, including infant daughter Magnolia (kazoo and "singing," i.e. cooing). Nicknamed "Bubs," she's also name-checked on "Like You Crazy" ("Bubs noticing bees in the air"). While the Gardner-Hammels aren't exactly competing with the sprawling Polyphonic Spree for "big band" supremacy, they do employ a choir on "Running Out," while additional instruments include bass ("Beautiful Dreamer"), trumpet ("For the Actor"), guitar ("Punchlines"), and viola ("Nature and the Wreck"). The centerpiece of their high-spirited sound, however, remains their irresistible hooks and exquisite harmonies, put to best effect on the stuttering "Fraud in the '80s" and bouncy "Beautiful Dreamer." Sometimes Kori takes the lead ("Running Out"), sometimes Jason ("What It Means"), but their voices are so tuned into each other that it's hard to pick a favorite (unlike most dual-vocalist bands where one inevitably outshines the other). Like the Beach Boys and the Turtles at their most euphoric, Bring It Back bursts with all the joy and vigor listeners have come to expect--and more of it. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
This has to be my favorite Mates album (Team Boo is a close second, and Re-Arrange Us is barely behind that). There's no more concise way to describe this music besides the word "citrus." It sounds like a refreshing glass of lemonade, a splash of lime, a grapefruit soda. Bring It Back is the essence of jubilance--that feeling you get when you're completely free, where you feel like nothing holds you from shouting the lyrics at the top of your voice.Technically, Mates of State have nothing going for them besides the fantastic, warm sounds of a rock organ, incredible hooks, and vocals you never want to forget about. Basically, they have a lot going for them. Skill at music doesn't matter--I don't want Mates of State to start showing out their instrumental skills. It doesn't need that, and I would argue that restraint in use of complicated or difficult musical motifs is a technical merit rather than a drawback.I just got the vinyl in the mail today, and after spending several minutes try to determine whether I liked the A side or the B side better, I realized that there wasn't a single song on this record that I didn't absolutely love and sing along with whenever it came on. So if you'll excuse me, I'll put this one back on my turntable and enjoy another 48 minutes, 22 seconds of pure joy.
