LINT - The Little Dancing
Ballerina Has Given Up (CD, Plumb, Pop)
The initial bars of the latest Lint album immediately
grab the listener with a guitar-driven beat complemented with urgent vocals
traded off between two of the female and a male singers in the Boston-based
group. The interplay calls to mind the meshing of Exene Cervenka
and John Doe of X, without sounding like the famous L.A.
rockers. This is an album of contrasts -- harsh guitar sounds bubbling
under the surface of beautiful vocals. The songs alternate from shimmering
indie-rock to piano-based confessionals. Sounds similar to The Individuals,
an early 80s power-pop band from Hoboken, N.J. Lint gets better with repeated
listening.(B. McGreevy) (Rating: 5)
