The Aislers Set
\nReissues
\n(Slumberland\/Suicide Squeeze)
\n2\/5<\/p>\n

San Francisco indie pop group The Aislers Set, who formed in 1997 and disbanded in 2004, have reissued three albums to coincide with their reunion tour.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this trilogy of discs was lost on me after listening to Terrible Things Happen<\/i>, which held terribly true to its title. I really struggled getting through the album, as all 14 songs had zero differentiation, agonizingly slow tempos, and forever droning vocals from Amy Linton.<\/p>\n

The Last Match<\/i> and How I Learned to Write Backwards<\/i> had much greater variety, if only thanks to the contribution of vocals from other band members and a more diverse array of instruments. The songs had varying lively tempos with lyrics telling a story. Still, they really only stood out in comparison to the tunes on Terrible Things Happen<\/i>.<\/p>\n

If you dig the sound of Violent Femmes but want something suckier, The Aislers Set is for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
