Daryl Waits, The Rustler, review from 75 or less

Still not listening to Moron Parade? It's your loss, trust me. Here is band member Daryl Waits with his own solo record. The slow and deliberate vocals are somewhere between Loaded-era Lou Reed, Smog, and David Berman. The music is reminiscent of the pop scrappiness of Swearing at Motorists or The Feelies and Yo La Tengo at their blissed-out best. Also throw in some of the dissonance and quirkiness of early Modest Mouse. It's all tied together with a thin, home recorded production touch. - mark www.75orless.com
