Pullman: Viewfinder
by AAJ Staff
You're going to have to listen here. Pullman doesn't yank you in with a blast or a hook; instead, this Chicago quintet eases along through resonant guitar textures with a relaxed feel. On Viewfinder, their second Thrill Jockey release, the group reconfigures its personnel and expands its recording techniques to include studio multitracking. Pullman remains a ...
Oval: OvalCommers
by AAJ Staff
Every new Oval record arrives on the scene with a combined sense of excitement and apprehension.

On its eponymous debut, the CUQ covers a broad range of styles from percolating polyrhythm (as on the opener, “Tunnel Chrome"), to gentle lyricism ("Three ...
Tortoise: Standards
by AAJ Staff
With its '94 self-titled release, Chicago's wunderband Tortoise carved out a comfortable niche for the genre now known as post-rock.
