We Say...
Part of the sixth edition of Deep Elm’s continuing series of label highlights, the Appleseed Cast’s “Steps and Numbers” is an anomaly among the generally predictable emo fare found alongside it. In 2000, faced with the choice of making another album beholden to genre signifiers and audience expectations or something far greater, Appleseed Cast took the road less traveled and emerged after fraught sessions with not one, but two full-length records. “Steps and Numbers” is perhaps the best individual song of the bunch, but it’s hard to say: the band constructed both albums to flow as one single piece of music (a nod to the post-rock and ambient influences that popped up throughout). Filled with circular guitar riffs, enormous droning organ and a drummer that sounds like he’s set up in the room across the hall, the group ended up changing what emo could — and should — sound like.

They Say...
Deep Elm's August 2005 label compilation -- number six in the series -- features 20 songs from current and upcoming releases. Long Island punk-pop combo Latterman starts it out with "Doom! Doom! Doom!," one of the strongest tracks on its August '05 release No Matter Where We Go, followed in quick succession by the early-'90s emo-sounding Lock & Key ("303"), and the urgency of Minneapolis' Clair de Lune. Sounds Like Violence's "Nothing" is New Crazy's first real highlight -- the Swedish group has been one of Deep Elm's brightest spots since the Pistol EP and "You Give Me Heartattacks," which is included for good measure later on the comp. With "Sincerely I" South Carolina's Burns Out Bright offers something quieter than their Distance and Darkness EP, while the piano-driven "Batteries" offers a glimpse of Desert City Soundtrack's September 2006 full-length, Perfect Addiction. Slowride's unreleased "Rust Killer" is also promising, like a more rangy Sonic Youth. With its exclusive material, lengthy run, and general strength of material -- not to mention the 99-cent list price -- New Crazy is more than worth a pickup for fans of Deep Elm or the punk-pop/post-hardcore indie realm in general.
