Labrador w/ Perennial & RADAR — live event
Labrador write the sort of lean, sharp pop music that you get from a steady diet of Motown, The Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival. The short-story wit of Paul Weller, Smokey Robinson, Nick Lowe. Labrador’s My Version Of Desire is that rarest of modern marvels: an impeccably crafted sonic story collection as replete with hooks as it is heartfelt insights into our todays and yesterdays. Guitars chime and fizz in the power pop tradition; choruses burst in technicolor, memorized before they’re even over. You sit down with My Version Of Desire — or you drive with it, let it guide you to the bus stop or the corner store — and hear the tangles of life pulled at like snarled-up guitar cables. It’s an album that’s lived-in and lived-with. Led by guitarist, singer, and songwriter Pat King, Labrador get down to the tough stuff of figuring yourself out, but the warmth here, the melodies and energy and ebullient blend of alt-country and mod-soul, always frame that soul-searching as a thing of beauty. __ Perennial is an art project: Mod pop, post-hardcore, 60s soul, ambient electronic music, mid-century design, abstract expressionism, French New Wave cinema; it’s all collage material for Perennial. __ RADAR is a garage punk from Brooklyn/Queens. LP out on Dead Broke Rekerds.
