"remember when good rock music was just about good rock music? whatever happened to that? climate knows, and they've used the knowledge to bless your ears with 16 tracks that'll either stick in your head like a walnut magnet or make you wonder if you accidentally consumed the last of your robitusin. when in fact, you haven't. you've only been tripping over grey and black unswitched tracks or pondering the echo behind julie's clothes. if you don't fall victim to playing the opening track over and over and over again (because it's just that good), you're on your way to some great sounds from these central texans including the uneasily catchy 'to-morrow may be the day,' the beautifully layered horns of 'in the harbor,' and the one-chord-happy-groove of 'somewhere towards the back' which, if you close your eyes and concentrate, will send you away to the shores of a magical, tropical island. these guys are from texas?"

Climbing climate

"I recently saw "K2" starring Michael Biehn. Have you ever seen "K2"? It's about mountain climbing. I didn't really like it very much. But that same day, I finally got the new Climate album, "Swallow All Letters". Have you heard "Swallow All Letters"? It's about many things. I really like it. You should listen to it because it will make you forget about the time you saw "K2" (starring Michael Biehn). It reminds me of my childhood, yet urges me on toward my future. That's good. If you've heard their earlier music, you'll recognize a wonderful, suspenseful update of "The Executive Spouse." Take it with you."

THE BEAT POP HAPPENING OF THE NOW!

"Climate is the brainchild of Nathan, Grant, and co. and it only gets better with each additional listening. From Sally's on the phone, all the way through to the semi-hidden track Rock and Roll in Dallas, TX, Swallow all Letters is a perfect example of DIY edgy, fun, rock! Or as my friend Dave describes it, "Climate kind of has that dangerous Child-playing-with-an-electric-socket feel. Not for everyone, and yet all encompasing all at once. My personal fave:1999! If you have a soul at all, you will like this album. If you do not like this album, then you must be a robot. Or from Plano."
