Review
On the blissfully fatalistic opening track of The Things We Make, Six by Seven's keening vocalist, Chris Olley, spells out his band's credo: "... For goodness' sake/The things I make/Have no use/But they have the most beautiful shape." Hailing from Nottingham, England, this quintet belongs to a shrinking cadre of rock bands that can make an extended guitar peal sound as fresh as it did the first time Thurston Moore went to town on his Stratocaster. The Things We Make is a symphony of well-wrought anti-pop divided into discrete songs… Read More that translate and embellish the secret language of guitars: They whine, they wail, they rise from hushed plucking to distorted riffing to majestic crescendos. In a world where Dave Matthews reigns as guitarist supreme, jam aficionados should find some comfort in Six by Seven's dreamy aural universe. (RS 800) NEVA CHONIN |
