 Earth to the Dandy Warhols finds the Portland, Oregon, rockers seriously indulging their artier side for the second album in a row — perhaps they've accepted that their commercial moment passed with the 2004 documentary Dig!, which followed them from obscurity to major-label success. Or maybe they still covet the weirdo genius accorded their buddies and Dig! co-stars, the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Whatever the case, this vaguely space-themed, quasi-psychedelic disc is a misstep: The melodies are buried in electric goo, and frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor's sharp wit is tough to decipher under an assortment of buzzes and drones. Sometimes the band's strong tune sense breaks through: On "Love Song" — which features guitar work from Mark Knopfler and banjo from the Heartbreakers' Mike Campbell — the Dandys turn out pretty jangle rock. But "Welcome to the Third World," which mashes up airy keyboards, a disco-funk groove and Taylor-Taylor's dragueur sing-speak, almost literally seems like two songs playing at the same time.

| Earth to the Dandy Warhols marks the end of the band's long run with Capitol Records. The Portland group now runs its own imprint, Beat the World Records, through World's Fair. But don't expect the change of scenery to significantly alter the band's sound. Courtney Taylor-Taylor and the rest of the Dandies still play droney yet accesible psych-pop that's fun and cheeky. Just witness song titles like "The Legend of the Last of the Outlaw Truckers AKA The Ballad of Sheriff Shorty" and "Musee D'Nougat." "Love Song" isn't another take on the Cure classic; instead, it's a raucous Dandies original featuring Mark Knopfler of the Dire Straits and Mike Campbell from Tom Petty's Heartbreakers....full text |
