We Say...
Toronto's Ten Kens play a rollicking, raucous brand of indie rock, with all the sonic nooks and crannies blanketed by a stylized, reverb-y overdrive. There are echoes of drone-y Velvet Underground or even the Doors, but Ten Kens sounds far too muscular to be neatly filed away as retro. Not too much rock (indie or otherwise) sounds mysterious these days, but the songs on this debut have a way of pushing and pulling, submerging and surfacing that manages to beguile. After the spare, floating "Ya'll Come Back Now," "Spanish Fly" fires up a vaguely exotic-sounding mean stomp, with the Kens leading each other through some hoarse chanting. Not since Clinic has a indie debut sounded so unpredictably thrilling.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
