Comment:

If our Deep Cuts is any indication, Athens' hard-fought reputation is safe . . . and still developing. Acetate's "Can't You Can't You" blows out of the power pop gate [i]already jammed[/i] into maximum overdrive, with Keith Moon-y drum fills and a double-tracked harmony vocal that's tighter than Joan Rivers' next facelift. On the other hand, OverflO dials down their eight-cylinder energy to a lazy riverbank stroll in "Out of Line," the kind of tune you might play after you'd worn the grooves off your favorite Allman Brothers LP. And, sometimes, really great music is concealed behind a really questionable band name; such is the case with Nutria (named for an overgrown, swamp-dwelling, rat-like creature). Perfecting the garage formula of balancing a magnetic melody with a fistful of ragged edges to keep it interesting, the indie-pop duo's "Heard It from a Friend" sticks in your brain like sonic peanut butter.
