Which is not to say the no-longer-indie Archers are now spewing personalized singer-songwriter fodder. ALL THE NATIONS AIRPORTS is a Raymond Carver-esque collection of thematically-entangled short stories, tied together by score-like passages that genuinely imply action. AIRPORTS is still pungent with the Archers' patented musical expression--detuned strings a la Sonic Youth and Pavement, great mid-song turns that recall pure-popsters and math-rockers alike, the occasional punk moment--but the unadulterated indie-rock anthems of the past have been grounded.\u003cbr\u003eHints of intrigue, some seemingly pulled from the nation's headlines, litter the song titles and lyrics, casting dark shadows over this cinematic, mid-tempo music. Most of the songs are constructed in multiple parts, and some are sequenced as suites. The trio of \"Worst Defense,\" \"Attack Of The Killer Bees\" and \"Rental Sting\" opens with a deep punky row, moves into feedback and crashed into a sonically spiky folk song. Eric Bachmann's cracked voice narrates with a grand touch of melancholy, and the band's riffs support him to the end. It is advised that you do not leave your seat until this album taxis all the way to the terminal.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48177082892575,"sku":"673855043524","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/40abdcd7f7d87f9e61e4cfc5dbd95b3a.jpg?v=1777854939","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/all-the-nations-airports","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
