    Press Reviews
    Melomane - ResolvoOne line sums up why I like these songs so much: "I'm just a modern day Dean and Gene Ween on the rock and roll trail." And that accurately summarizes (this recording.) It's hard to say what Melomane is; it's much easier to say what it isn't. You can kick heavy metal and rap out from the start; if I have to make a comparison, I'll start with the Silver Jews and also nod to Pavement in their more introspective, C&W moments. These songs search for deeper transcendental meaning in music - the kind of meaning that Pavement and Yo La Tengo, among other bands, have tried to find in the wilds of three chords and red guitars - and stamp out stylistic chalk lines with their feet along the way.
