Review

Plenty of groups blend lounge and movie-soundtrack elements with contemporary beats to create sophisticated, kitschy party music. On Treader, Spring Heel Jack also display a fondness for such things. But the British outfit places strings, horns, and tinkling melodic percussion next to hyperkinetic drums, gulping bass, and other slippery sounds, creating a warped album that has nothing to do with ironic nostalgia. "Outerlude," for example, might recall a movie score that has mutated into a bizarre sonic artifact. The disc sounds like some staggering juggernaut: it's as if drum & bass were giving a fractured orchestra the ride of its life. Treader's two bonus tracks are "covers" of "My Favorite Things" and "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," two songs from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. Spring Heel Jack reconfigure these classics into seriously bent versions. The original tunesmiths never would have imagined these oddly beautiful tracks in their worst nightmares. --Fred Cisterna
