REVIEW(ed):
‘HEEL TURN’ is the long awaited & highly desired sophomore LP from LESSER CARE (@lessercare) & y'all can rest easy, the wait was well worth it as our boys done did it.
The El Paso-based duo, comprised of composer/lyricist/vocalist/guitarist Andres Chavez & drummer/percussionist/vocalist Zane Pacillas (w/ a special shoutout to bassist/guitarist Angel Yglecias) are the breath of fresh air that we’ve needed for some time & across a 12-track spread have further refined & mastered their brand of street_wearing, dream_gazing & Alt_rocking PostPunk. 
“God’s Favorite” sets the scene/vibe, letting you know, this isn’t the same ole stroll through the post-punk-park…
“Cry Orchid” is the first proper track & it puts Lesser Care’s confidence on full display by showcasing a softer side that brilliantly blends their brooding tendencies w/ a wash of dream_poppin textures while “Streetwear” brings those glammy gloomer goods & “Intuition” recalls the expert melancholic moodiness their big bros in Soft Kill have made a name from (those subtly massive drum fills tho).
“Candy” is all saccharine rush & ringing guitars (& more sick ass fills) while “Heavenly” finds the boys linking up w/ vocalist Haley Anne & stepping their game up to higher dreamPOP levels w/out dialing back any of the melancholy across 4 synth laden mins as “Even After Everything Changed (Feat: Tobias Grave)" brings a loaded 3:42 clip moodily lit & emotionally surged AltPop.
“Bubblegum Machine” ups the oomph across 3 mins of buzzsaw guitars & swinging beats while “Gloss” & “Something New” once again prove that our boys know their way around some atmospherically trapped SynthPop…. Which brings us to the one-two closing punch of “Finally Bare” & “Light Blue,” the former w/ its hard hitting swing (not to mention that final third guitar burst) & the latter’s bringing-it-all-home vibe as LC collect, disperse & hone in on all the sounds/vibes of the past 11 tracks while channeling them into a cohesively wrapped 5 min package.
‘Heel Turn’ is the sound of Lesser Care rising too the occasion & surpassing all our hope, desires & wishes… this is the sound of well heeled progress.

SEASONAL_SONG_DISORDER: // It’s that time of year again… // Let’s not beat around the bush, DEAD MAN’s BONES embody a certain late October ethos & eschew any of the corniness related around Halloween & or cutesy child choirs. // There is nothing un-calculated about what Zachary Shields & Ryan Gosling create under their Dead Man’s guise. They pull off the unthinkable, managing to do so in such a charming & artistic manner. // On paper, this has all the possibility of being an absolute train wreck: Hollywood A-List actor, a near singular aesthetic, kids, a penchant for old-timey instruments, KIDS, quaint spookiness, handsomeness, lots & lots of children singing…yet, it really fucking works!! // “In the Room Where You Sleep” is the quintessential drama club anthem...the Gos croons the fuck outta the gothic doo-wop of “My Body’s A Zombie for You”....“Lose Your Soul” is all under-the-floor-board creep, & “Pa Pa Power” is the autumnal power-pop-goth we deserve & the jaunty “Werewolf Heart” leaves us swooning. // 2009′s ‘Dead Man’s Bones’ @antirecords is the group’s sole artistic statement (at least on record) & what a fine statement it is. // Gosling & Shields seem beyond capable of creating great songs in a conventional way, but their idea of adding mad harmonies via The Silverlake Conservatory of Music Children’s Choir was an ingenious one. // Not only does the inclusion of the Silverlake Choir set them apart from other indie (and non-indie) acts, it appropriately ups the eerie ante they were going for, proving once again that there’s nothing the Gos can’t do.
