内容紹介

Orcas Island - just off the coast of Seattle. Holed up in a rented house during the fall of 2004, The Pale Pacific focused on recording an entirely new set of material to an analog 8-track tape machine and had the ability to do so without outside distractions — no mail, no cell phone reception and no Internet connection. During their three-week stay, they managed to record 15 songs, some of which ended up on the "Rules Are Predictable" EP. The rest of the session’s cuts were sequenced and placed on the band’s fourth full-length, Urgency. The resulting recordings are raw, uninhibited and offer The Pale Pacific at their most intimate. The band left environmental sounds in — cars driving by, airplanes flying overhead, a dryer or washer that’s left on — which makes the recordings of Urgency that much more honest, at least on a sonic level. With Urgency’s tracking finalized, The Pale Pacific enlisted Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla to mix selected tracks for the album. And if the artwork appears familiar, that’s because The Pale Pacific’s latest features the creative visuals of Grammy award nominated artist Jesse LeDoux (whose work includes album covers for Elliott Smith, Hot Hot Heat and The Shins).

Amazonレビュー

Aging has a way of focusing the mind, especially when long-held expectations go unmet. After 10+ years of laboring in the Seattle music scene and producing a few small-scale releases (2003's Gravity Gets Things Done the best among them), cousins Gabe Archer and Cameron Nicklaus went simple. They underwent a legally-enforced name change (previously, they were just "The Pale"), took their rhythm section and holed up in an island-bound cabin with an eight-track, hoping the physical and technological isolation would result in an epiphany. Despite its lo-fi origins, Urgency is certainly the best they've ever sounded on record, no doubt in part to the mixing talents of Death Cab For Cutie's Chris Walla. That Pale Pacific sound more than a little like Walla's band is thus perhaps not surprising, but that's too easy a comparison. The record is haunted by a similar intuition, a familiar, bitter sweetness, but it's also guided by larger-than-life melodies (see "If Only She'd Leave Town") that spring more readily, like Matthew Sweet or even Big Star. Archer and Nicklaus linger long in those melodies, whether drowning in reverb (on "The Strangest Second Chance") or melancholy (on the Damien Rice-like closer "Fall To Place"). It's not quite an epiphany, but Urgency is at least hard-won progress. Often that's the best one can hope for. –Matthew Cooke
