Gunshots At Crestridge
is the second full-length album from Philadelphia's
Jesse Dewlow
, recording under the moniker
People Skills
. The follow-up to 2014's Siltbreeze set,
Tricephalic Head
. Ten sunken songs, derisively adorned with rhythm and rudimentary dub effects. Bedroom elegies for the lost and irretrievable, last-ditch spells for transformation and renewal.
Thurston Moore
and
Byron Coley
likened the previous record to "
South Island New Zealand pop played inside of an armored car
," and that description holds here: underneath the hoods of these wracked and weather-beaten recordings are melodies of disarming beauty and optimism, bordering on the (willfully) mawkish, bubblegum ground underfoot. Whether speaking through stately keyboard pastorals ("Mint Julep"), rat-arsed rock 'n roll slur ("89¢ Public Render") or sulphurous aggro-electronics (the two-part title track),
Gunshots At Crestridge
exposes, then seeks to redeem, all of our tiny acts of self-sabotage, all of our sins against time.
