worst album of the nineties These guys are the biggest joke in rock music. All of these 5 star reviews are an even bigger joke. Ed Kowizsychik(SP) or however you want to spell it sounds as pathetic as he looks. This is garbage, plain & simple. Im glad radio is no longer saturated with their music. 20 years from now, no one will remember this group.
Their first full-length in almost two years is their most scathing. Dirty hooks, shape shifting grooves, and a lot of attitude. Look for them on tour this spring and summer.
REVIEW
Jam and get hyped when you listen to this album This music gets into your blood and makes you jump up and down. This is what music is supposed to be. Everyone should own a copy. My favorite song of this year is Hello Africa. Free Gold is my favorite album this year.
Album DescriptionAfter years of gnashing their teeth wildly through the bible belt of Texas, Indian Jewelry have emerged with their debut.
REVIEW
One of the best of 2006. No, I'm not kidding. I picked this up pretty much out of idle curiosity, and boy howdy was I surprised. I hadn't heard of the band before, but I crap you negative, this is one of the best albums of '06, or really of any other year you'd care toname. I know, I know, 1636 was a banner year for sound recording, but this album would still find a place in my top ten.
They're reminiscent somewhat of the also damn cool Gang Gang Dance, but Indian Jewelry mess things up even more with some truly mutant guitar f***ery. Maybe you can imagine "Cherub"-era Butthole Surfers voiding their bowels in some scuzzy underground opium den where the main soundtrack are some scratched-up electroclash records. Actually, that's pretty much what the 10 minute "Going South" sounds like. "Lost My Sight" suggests Suicide being dunked underwater with only some live electrical cables to keep them company. Throughout the album, synths and guitars are abused like so many altar boys, and Erika Thrasher has the coolest luded-out FU vocals to crawl up and die in my inner ear for as long as I can remember.
In short, you have to get this, or else people might start thinking you're normal or something. And you wouldn't want that.
Album Description "Indian Jewelry's music is surprisingly coherent. Underneath the rowdy synthesizers and absurdist lyrics, a steady pulse prevails." -- Washington Post "Indian Jewelry have invented their own sonic language through which to pump all their endless paranoia, panache, and aplomb. Must be scary to be the competition." -- Tiny Mix Tapes "The band brings some disparate sounds together to create an album that works really well as a whole, twisting and turning and even cavorting on a spacey trip to nowhere and everywhere." -- Prefix
It may have been a while since you last heard from Indian Jewelry. In 2006, several members of the band's songwriting and performance team found the bitch of fame licking them on the hand. Blinded by vanity, easy fame, self-love, and the internet, they went into an early retirement. For the last two years, they have holed up between a private compound in Chicago and a private residence in Houston. There, they put a light to the holes in their shoes and set to work on a perfect vision of the future. In this time, many people have attempted to wear their clothes and walk their dogs. Stop! These dogs can walk themselves. Keep your ears open for the dulcet thunder. Free Gold is just a key. A key to a perfect vision of the future. This vision is known by many names. Dog Cult. Many-Headed Persons. Blockhead. Free Gold was made to show you one simple thing: you have the power! It is in your hands, within your reach. You don't have to walk alone. Indian Jewelry was gone, but now they're coming back and there's going to be a bloodbath.
