Review

Moth's major-label debut eschews pretentiousness in favor of intelligent lyrics set to effervescent melodic rock. Mixing acoustic and electric passages and loud-and-soft dynamics with fluidity reminiscent of the Replacements' Tim, the album's ecstatic tone never relents. The opening track, "I See Sound," is a stirring romp alternating crashing choruses, quieter, stream-of-consciousness verses, and guitar squalls, while "Thinking Please," wraps its wistful sentiments in insistent drumming and jack-knifing chords. But what elevates Provisions Fiction & Gear beyond equally catchy contemporaries is its incidental flourishes: the punk-funk breakdown in "Burning Down My Sanity," the cut-and-paste juxtaposition of harsh riffs and dewy flute on "Sleepy," and the robotic vocal manipulations on "Straight Line." Couple these with richly descriptive tales of confusion, heartbreak, and anguish, and you have all of the elements of an engaging and excellent album. --Annie Zaleski
