CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Moth's major-label debut eschews pretentiousness in favor of intelligent lyrics set to effervescent melodic rock. Mixing acoustic and electric passages and loud-and-soft dynamics with fluidity reminiscent of the Replacements' Tim, the album's ecstatic tone never relents. The opening track, "I See Sound," is a stirring romp alternating crashing choruses, quieter, stream-of-consciousness verses, and guitar squalls, while "Thinking Please," wraps its wistful sentiments in insistent drumming and jack-knifing chords. But what elevates Provisions Fiction & Gear beyond equally catchy contemporaries is its incidental flourishes: the punk-funk breakdown in "Burning Down My Sanity," the cut-and-paste juxtaposition of harsh riffs and dewy flute on "Sleepy," and the robotic vocal manipulations on "Straight Line." Couple these with richly descriptive tales of confusion, heartbreak, and anguish, and you have all of the elements of an engaging and excellent album. --Annie Zaleski Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBetter than a punk band Meghan Bunn | Quartz Hill, CA USA | 11/17/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "When I heard "I See Sound," I immediately categorized them with Sum41 and Blink182. Yet later, I came to notice that its music was better than punk. It was organized, instead of something like a trial jam session where anything goes. You could tell it was practiced with precision and not just a general understanding of how the song should sound. They are professional and mature rockers, at least musically. Yet, I believe they deserved four stars because I couldn't stand tracks eight to eleven on the CD ...I listen to the beginning half and that is well enough worth my money." A thrilling return to rock music. Rodney Bowcock Jr. | California, KY United States | 04/10/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "Good ol' rock music has been seriously lacking from the lineups of major labels. This release from Moth, a band that honed their sound by playing in the amazingly underrated Cincinnati music scene is one giant step in the right direction. While it's easy to pick out specific influences of the band,(Weezer and The Pixies jump out)the band manages to mix and disguise the sounds of those that came before them into a mix that is incredibly infectious and sounds surprisingly fresh in the sea of god-awful-drek that is force fed to us by major labels.It's a great album from a great band, and I hope they are very successful in future efforts. Fans of The Pixies, Weezer, and Idlewild will be thrilled with this release."
