Notes
Left Of The Dial: Man, talk about catching you at the beginning of the album. We got some pop stuff, subtle and catchy, and then we got some sudden bursts of noise. Wait! Hello?! Is that a bit of the free jazz saxophone? And yes, it's just the first track, complete with woohoos and screaming. And then please, yes, keep my attention with some catchy, rolly, punchy guitar pieces. This is another one of those albums that, every once in a while, comes across your reviewing desk and completely catches you off guard. You give it the first listen with your roommates and you throw it in the okay, but I'll wait until the last minute to listen to it and review it pile. Then you come home a little over the weather after a weird show, throw it in your CD player downstairs and you accidentally start cranking it and rocking out to it instead of writing about it like you are supposed to be doing. Oops, then your review becomes late for your poor editor. Bad thing for the editor, but I guess there's a compliment in there for the band, or the Torch Marauder himself, because he pretty much seems to be the only half-crazed member. Alright, so the Partridge Family has thrown their sweet, innocent mom from their moving van after deciding she never really did fit in; then it's off to the closest, darkest alley where the sketchiest cats hang and the best pills can be bought. David Cassidy spins into a world of laughter and insanity; kicking everyone else out of the van; putting down red shag carpeting, lava lamps and a disco ball; stops shaving and cutting his hair and ordains himself the Torch Marauder. Frying his brain on acid and sedatives, he decides he can still make the music just as poppy and happy, but as crazy as the best of the psychedelic family down the street, The Heads, who still have their mom in the band. He sits down at his little four-track powered by the van's cigarette lighter and starts recording beautiful messes of music in between moments of staring at the melting roof of the van or simply just passing out. Somehow he fits keyboards, organs, guitars, amps, crunchy pedals, drum kits, saxophones, French horns, clapping hands, violins and a few friends into this little Econoline tripped out van. Oh, wonderful craziness, how I've missed you. This is where the Torch Marauder is coming from. I really can't think of anything to compare his music to, which is great; it's very unique. He's got his own little brand of brilliant, moving, train-of-thought music. This guy is having fun and he's got me having fun with him, he really draws you into his music, lightens you up a bit, convinces you to come out and play. -Chaz Martenstein Deep Fry Bonanza: I can only imagine what it must have been like to have been a music reviewer in 1998 and have Neutral Milk Hotel's classic In the Aeroplane Over the Sea plopped down in front of me along with a request to write a few dozen words about something that would take a lifetime to understand, much less describe. Most of the time, as a music critic, it's pretty easy to cop the 'I've heard this before' stance and dismiss most everything you hear as the regurgitated pap that it almost certainly is, but every once in a while something hits your ears that just sounds magical, like it's from another world. Boxers, Painters and Snappers is about as otherworldly as they come, but not in a 'ooooh look at us we're so experimental!!!' kind of way at all. Much like Neutral Milk Hotel, the Torch Marauder's music sounds like a reasonable, rational conversation with an alien, someone who sees the world (and, in particular, it's music) very differently than the rest of us. On most of the songs here, it sounds like the Torch Marauder is attempting something like pop, but it doesn't come out like any pop I've ever heard. 'Sympathy for the Television,' for instance, sounds like a ten-year-old touring rock musician who's gotten a hold of his metalhead older brother's bad speed ranting about how he wants to get
