Review

Recorded mostly live, Kid Dakota's The West Is The Future captures the intensity and dynamic range of the Minneapolis band as a four-piece, with long-time drummer Christopher McGuire (John Vanderslice) and songwriter Darren Jackson (Olympic Hopefuls), as well as guitarist Erik Appelwick (Vicious Vicious) and bassist Zak Sally (Low). The darkly cinematic album picks up where 2002's So Pretty left off, with moody, melodic vocals, howling guitars and impeccably arranged percussion fueling the backdrop for poignant stories of loss and longing. This time around, in addition to airing his own such history, Jackson turns his keen poetic sensibilities outward to the tragic ironies of the early American West, simultaneously channeling the indomitable optimism and the utter despair that necessarily accompany the discovery of a new and savage frontier. Slow, sultry waltzes nudge their way into full-on rock songs, the stylistic diversity adding to the ambivalence of the songs' narrators, each of who has his own wonderful and terrible tale to spin. Alan Sparhawk & Mimi Parker (Low) and Andrew Broder (Fog) make guest appearances.
