about

The 1994 debut LP by this long running group of homeowners takes the lame constraints of rock music and chucks them in the river. I guess you could call this "indie rock" but it has none of the lame implications of that tag - it's neither overweening nor slavishly secondhand. In the style of say Wire or Swell Maps, Wingtip take devices such as verses and choruses and split them into prickly shards of lyrical sound. Inventive, angular, occasionally angry, and yet possessing an offhand "catchy" charm that so many bands work hard to possess but can't. The expressionistic lyrics are good and given an appropriately pointed delivery.

The wonderful performances of the group are elevated by the absolutely gorgeous production. The mix is perfect, lively and full, but not overproduced. It sounds like I'm right there with the Pickers. hagbardcelinedion
