I
like Steve Albini. I worship, esteem,
respect and admire some of the albums
he has produced in his illustrious ca-
reer, and I include his own band Shellac’s
music among my pantheon of favorites.
Low’s Things We Lost In The Fire, The
Pixies’ Surfer Rosa, PJ Harvey’s Rid Of Me
and Nirvana’s In Utero are all absolutely
untouchably great albums produced by
Albini that will live forever. His production
skills are so legendary that bands hire him
all the time, but needless to say, not every
final result is in the same league as those al-
bums. The Slow Signal Fade’s Steady is not
one of those albums.
My husband, who is the world’s biggest
smartass, listened to them for five minutes
and said, “Oh, it sounds just like The
Cranborings.” While that’s not quite how I
would put it, the Cranberries comparison is
THE
legitimate, with the caterwauling female
vocals and dramatic rise and fall in tone.
Much of The SSF’s music has a spacier,
more psychedelic feel than The
Cranberries. They let the notes sparkle and
fade for just the right amount of time, and
vocalist Marguerite Olivelle builds up to
trembling crescendos that Jefferson
Airplane’s Grace Slick would be proud of.
The band weaves layer after layer of texture
into the music, with each instrument seem-
ing to stand out without overpowering the
others, an effect likely enhanced by Albini’s
wizardry.
The SSF has released two previous EPs,
2002’s Kindling and 2004’s Through the
Opaque Air. Though the four band members
live in Los Angeles, they hail from every-
where else. But Saturday, they’ll be here in
Eugene.
