| Additional Moog, like many British bands before them, took a classic American music format — in this case the alt-country of Gram Parsons, The Band, Wilco, and others — and filtered it through their English sensibility to present us with a version of America that exists purely in their imagination, yet which, in many ways, is closer to pure Americana than any U.S. band can hope to aspire to. Songs like "Avalanche Days" and "Alaska" portray a mythical America that would have felt right at home on any Gram Parsons album, while "Trout Thing" and "Silver Diver" betray, in a good way, their British lineage, bringing to mind more T. Rex than the Flying Burrito Brothers. All in all, this is a collection of songs worth taking note of, musically and metaphorically. |
