专辑简介
"Songs you need to download now! Army Navy `Saints': a splashy jangle of distorted guitars and winsomely defiant vocals--like Teenage Fanclub's Bandwagonesque all jacked up on Mountain Dew--that's the feel-good nonhit of the winter." -- SPIN "Army Navy follow in a direct line from The Zombies to Teenage Fanclub, with brief detours for The Posies, Redd Kross, My Bloody Valentine, Blur, and the like, layering heavy, distorted guitars, pounding rhythms and oh-so-sad and sweet vocal melancholy into rock and roll bliss." -- Other Music
The music of Army Navy is best described as impeccably crafted melody over blankets of guitar fuzz that create a delicate balance between melancholy and joyful resignation. For inspiration, the band looks to groups from the past like Teenage Fanclub, The Smiths, The Posies, and The Libertines while still keeping a firm eye on the future. Aided in the studio by producer Adam Lasus (whose previous credits include Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Helium, and Yo La Tengo), the band eschewed the major label process to release its eponymous debut in the US under its own label, The Fever Zone, in the Fall 2008. With a firm lineup, an explosive live show, and a fair smattering of internet and magazine press, the band is beginning to attract a steady following in their adopted hometown of Los Angeles. They've shared the stage with such acts as The Arctic Monkeys, Wolfmother, and Teenage Fanclub, and have recorded an exclusive song to be on the soundtrack of the new Michael Cera movie Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. The band's advice to fans of indie pop everywhere can be echoed by a review in Pitchfork, which urges people to "catch a whiff of Army Navy's sweet jangle."
