Thao and The Get Down Stay Down / A Man Alive Fourth album from San Francisco-based band fronted by Thao Nguyen with production (and vocal appearances) from Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs. Introspective, emotional, and powerful. FCC Clean 1) ** (3:30) Astonished Man - blues guitar and kick drum break beat takes and electronic turn, harmonious hook 2) * (3:11) Slash/Burn - rumbling bass, gritty drum, guitar tones woven through looped background vocals. RIYL Sleigh Bells. 3) (3:25) The Evening - funky stomping bass and drums, guitar tones, distortion vocal cries 4) * (3:26) Departure - hand-clapped beat, acoustic pieces, grimy long bass notes 5) ** (3:48) Nobody Dies - infectious euphoric pop-centric stomp-along punctuated by vocals 6) (4:05) Guts - easy-going swinging organ strut, vocal lullaby, pedal-driven slide guitar 7) * (3:08) Fool Forever - organ, hi-hat, booming hook, vocal reminiscent of 80s Romeo Void 8) (3:06) Millionaire - organ, bass drum, toms, guitar underlying the track 9) (3:22) Meticulous Bird - bass filled rap chant, kick drum break beat 10) * (2:59) Give Me Peace - layered vocals, guitar and a flash of toy piano 11) (3:52) Hand to God - acoustic guitar at first before bass and snare enter, fine lyrical composition 12) (3:48) Endless Love - dub rock, layered vocals | ||
