THE FIRE THEFT- s/t
We’re not sure what the party line is on this issue, with the rise of punk Christianity and whatnot, but this is one great record to smoke bales of weed to. Put The Fire Theft in the old multi-disc player with the newest Mars Volta and some old Floyd or Genesis or Yes or even Jane’s Addiction, and then get seriously baked. (Here’s a Zulu suggestion: Keep all doors and windows closed to ensure extra glazing—small rooms are best.) Yes, this is some deep soul searching stuff from Jeremy Enigk and the other guys from Sunny Day Real Estate. That’s right, Sunny Day Real Estate. Amidst the orchestral swoops and deft rock dynamics, there’s a palpable sense of reaching out for meaning with substance in our time of political cravenness and social insecurity. And not the Limp Bizkit meets Enya that is Evanescence kind of pseudo-seriousness-ness, but something really heartfelt, Enigk-style: heavy shit that lifts you up.
