Review

Rolling Stone (8/21/97, p.112) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...an evocative blend of psychedelic melancholia from simple ingredients--humming Farfisa organ, sparse reverbed guitar, minimal drums and chorusless lyrics, delivered lullaby-style..."
Magnet (11-12/97, p.60) - "...They adjust the mood lighting with deftly chosen analogue strokes, coo sweet nothings like song-mad turtledoves and carry your heart off into the star-sprinkled night..."
Option (11-12/97, p.82) - "...crafting space-age bachelor pad music with garage rock's quotidian esthetic, AmAnSet create basement-pop designs for everyday living that are wondrous in a homespun sort of way..."

Title Note

The American Analog Set includes: Andrew Kenny (vocals).

This Fort Worth quartet's sleepy caravan rambles on, mindless of maps and charts as it navigates the landscape of gentle psychedelia. While still very much in thrall to the power of drone-y, dreamy guitar and confectionery synth, the AmAnSet shows a little more energy and direction on its second album. Guitarist Andrew Kenny's trickling, ticklish Mobius-strip riffs are ingenious, and his bright surf-guitar tone plays well against the exquisite billows and shimmers of Lisa Roschmann's Farfisa organ. In combination with a beautifully restrained rhythm section, the sound is so mesmerizing and calming that "Magnificent Seventies" feels short at a mere eight minutes and change.

There's ample evidence of AmAnSet's roots in the chugging post-Velvet Underground sound of Galaxie 500/Luna and Stereolab, particularly in the acrobatic basslines, gooey "ba-ba-ba" vocals, and (relatively) boisterous synth-sweetened jangle of "White House." But LIVING ROOM suggests that someone here has also been listening to Ennio Morricone's stirring Spaghetti Western scores. Drama drips from the plangent guitar lines of "Where Have All the Good Boys Gone," and "Two Way Diamond" drifts majestically over the high plains, dissolving into ambient ether spangled with backwards chimes. LIVING ROOM is an exquisite album, bubbling over with quiet intensity and beautiful songcraft.
