& (eggBERT). Review by Giorgio Portagrier.
... the bitterness on & simply doesn't pack a punch. It's deeply disappointing because & should be able to knock you on your ass. Lydia Lunch, Sparks, Van Dyke Parks, and Ann Manguson were all able to do it on their own, and here they are, on the same album and all of that stinging sensation is gone. Kristian ...

From his teen days in Squirrel Bait through stints with Slint and Gastr Del Sol and on to his solo work for Drag City, David Grubbs has long been an innovator in music. Nirav Soni spoke with Grubbs about improvisation, collaborations, Indian music, and the Beach Boys.
... . Do you think that there is a pop sensibility that pervades the music you've put out under your own name? From looking at your conversation with Van Dyke Parks and your songs, the Beach Boys -- and Smile, especially -- seem to be reference points to some of your music. To be honest, I'm just trying ...

Athens icon Vic Chesnutt discusses his brilliant new CD, Silver Lake, with devoted fan Steve Stav.
... crossed the plains of Indiana, Chesnutt allowed a brief insight into his fascinating life and incredible work. I've heard that you're a big fan of Van Dyke Parks. With its fantastic arrangements, is Silver Lake your Pet Sounds? I wouldn't say that. This is more like... my Abbey Road. The orchestration ...

July 1999 :: Music D-E :: The Dinner is Ruined Band (Matthew Moyer)
... weirdness. It just warms my heart to listen to a band that has a dual-personality understanding of orchestral pop archetypes and fuck-you noise. Van Dyke Parks anyone? Every time I think they've exhausted their little bag of tricks, they do something like use cheesy drum machine beats and vocal effects ...

August 1999 :: Music T-Z :: Jesse Winchester (Jim Presnell)
... , fun, adventuresome, and unafraid to rock to his white-boy soul roots. This is deep woods music influenced by the big city. Visualize a melding of Van Dyke Parks, Bryan Ferry, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. A good example is the opening track, "Club Manhattan." It's a funky invitation to a night spot where Winchester ...

Not only is Stephin Merritt one of the most revered songwriters around, he's also one of the most prolific, with the massive three-disc 69 Love Songs and records from alter-egos the 6ths and the Future Bible Heroes out in just the last year. Randall Stephens caught up with Merritt in a rare moment between projects to try to catch up.
... is the songwriter of this generation. Part of his success comes from his ability to combine musical incongruities with considerable ease. Like Van Dyke Parks, another prolific musical alchemist, Merritt can conjure ABBA, Joy Division, and show tunes in the same breath. Other combinations are equally ...

Live at the Roxy Theatre (Oglio). Review by James Mann.
... LIVE AT THE ROXY THEATRE Oglio What is left to be said about one of America's premier musical geniuses? With The Beach Boys existing only in theme parks and courtrooms, it's only the endless reissues and box sets to sate the ravenous Wilson fan, who vainly waits for the complete Smile album to be released ...

The Coast is Never Clear (Velocette). Review by Randall J. Stephens.
... splendid turns of musical and lyrical phrasing combined with a lilting West Coast sound ('70s period Beach Boys, distilled Spanish influences and Van Dyke Parks). Needless to say, this disc is spectacular – one of the shining moments for pop in 2001. Velocette Records, 83 Walton St., Atlanta, GA 30303 ...
