"Debut album by this Turners Falls-based quartet led by
Adam Langellotti
of
Sore Eros
and widely hailed for his engineering work. The sound on
Transient Response
is languid ruralist prog-pop, with help from
Gary War
,
Ma Turner
,
Shannon & Beverly Ketch
, and other Valley travelers.
New Parents
can be pretty raw live, but the overall vibe here is smoother and distinctly out-of-time. Different segments remind me of everything from
Fraser & DeBolt
to
Brinsley Schwarz
to
Great Plains
and back again. Something about the way the production is layered gives the record a feel quite redolent of the early '70s, but the more you play it, the clearer its contemporary origins become. Amongst the classic rock instrumental touches there are short bursts of weirdness that telegraph a 21st Century post-whatsis aesthetic as clearly as a skunk broadcasts stink.
Jenifer Gelineau
's violin work is an extremely important part of the tunes on which it appears. Her work here has a texture that binds Adam's voice and words to a point that looks forward and backwards in equal measures. Without it, I feel as though the album would have a certain wobble to it. Her fiddle is the gyroscope at the center of things. The fact that
Anthony Pasquarosa
did the cover art and
Lee Ranaldo
provided the insert photo are indicative of the company New Parents keep. Both of these cats are a hard-to-define mix of traditional and modern components. The same is true of
Transient Response
. And to those bitter orphaned critics who are bound (by law) to call this Dad Rock, I would hasten to correct them. It's Mom and Dad Rock, and if you can't dig that, your chances of ever hooking up with a real family are just about nil." --
