...And that's not a bad thing considering I couldn't find a speck of genius in Nightcrawler or nothing at that, since he broke out with "Crystal Village" on Day I Forgot. Lucky for us, Thurston Moore filled in for some of this gap. After all, only few groups like the Stones can come out with insane amounts of music year after year, and Pete is no stone per say.
Let's just smooth things out for a second; Thurston Moore doesn't sound completely like Pete Yorn, but they both do have some jazzy hair. Perhaps Moore's album Trees Outside The Academy reminds me so much of Yorn due to no lack of guitar gadgetry. But it’s not just the guitars that made me actually look further into Mr. Moore. It wasn't just the odd first name of Thurston; rather the first track that struck me was "Honest James". What an eloquently subtle guitar mood setter. The striking addition to this song was just that, the guitar. While the track was recorded through two separate channels, making for a minute separation that makes your body tingle, the following tracks take that feeling away.
Labels: Pete Yorn, Thurston Moore
