CHEER-ACCIDENT
is clearly the underdog of Chicago. Always unpredictable, always entertaining,
but darn hard to pigeonhole. Imagine an indie prog band, an emo band that
can laugh at itself, or maybe the best bet is to set that blender on "10"
and dream about Steely Dan, Chicago (the band) and U.S Maple. CHEER-ACCIDENT
thrills in dissonance and odd chord changes, yet are undeniably A POP
BAND, sneaking in the back door, taking things to another level, with
songwriting that will make you cry, musicianship that will make you tremble,
and the hooks and looks needed to go down in musical history. CHEER-ACCIDENT
has an eccentric sense of humor that combines a lush pop style with bursts
of bizarre changes; at just about the point where you become convinced
that any given song could make it on commercial radio, they "blow it"
with some left-field turn straight off a cliff. "Salad Days" is a celebration
that music is being made at all - A Hi-Fi invitation to the band's explorations
into the dark world of lo-fi consciousness. Tap in and fell the most rewarding
album of the year.
