Title Note

Personnel: Erik Denno (vocals, guitar, tapes); Jim Wall (guitar); Carlo Cennamo (saxophone); Don Zientara (synthesizer); Darren Zentek (drums).

Recording information: 706 Easley St (11/1997); Inner Ear, Arlington VA (11/1997).

Photographer: James Leland.

Much more polished than their previous releases, Kerosene 454's final effort shines with professionalism and experience. Producer J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines) hones Erik Denno's reluctant yelp into a tool strong enough to carry the whole record. Fortunately it doesn't have to. Unlike Came By to Kill Me, At Zero doesn't meander, doesn't become repetitious, and is always on target. The interplay between brothers John Wall and James Wall is impeccable; each strum and pluck echoing the other to form a seamless union between the guitar and bass. The best example is in "Negatives," where the bass carries the melody while Denno's voice floats above. Meanwhile, the guitar chimes a single tone with the rhythm of an alarm clock. It may very well be the best song they have ever written. The anger and playfulness that the group had exhibited is still present as well. "Heroes," with its manic beat, begins by Denno screaming, "Lies got your heroes," an appropriate lyric for a group from the nation's capital. The final two cuts feature a one-man show via drummer Darren Zentek. His work on the toms in "Pay Attention" is jaw-dropping, while "Spookin the Birds" proves how easy post-rock can be. At Zero is certainly the best record that Slowdime has released and one of the best rock & roll albums ever released by a D.C. band. ~ Yancey Strickler
