Top of the foodchain........2004-11-24

Young man writes elegantly beautiful music and plays nearly all the insruments (keys, digital clicks, and a yacht-size shed of others not listed in the credits) - only problem is this young man doesn't want to use his own voice to deliver the anthems of choice. Sounds vaguely familiar - maybe, most notably, Stephin Merrit circa-Distant Plastic Trees (with Susan Anway the main voice for the record). The young man we speak highly of is Brooklyn DJ Noah Wall, and his 'Susan Anway' is a lovely-voiced lady by the name of Amy Jones, co-writer of 'In The Food Chain's eleven offerings.

Opener "Pilgrim" is all instrumental, with a somewhat simple guitar / bass rhythm laid atop a wash of fluid motion and a gentle shaker. Then 'In The Food Chain' takes off, into a world of "sneaker album of the year" territory. Picking favorites of the set would be similar to trying to play poker with an incomplete set of cards (sorry - it's the best I could do), as each of these tracks compliment each other so well, it makes complete sense why they are all snug so tight here on the record.

Should you be looking for a "preview" before you purchase (I hear you can do that somewhere on this internet), I would suggest the folktronica anthem that is "Banj" (featuring a banjo and some other unique musician-type tools my novice ears cannot decipher, although the tabla is listed) or the Squarepusher on Morpine (drip) follower "Thursday". On the later, vocalist Jones' spoken portion (not quite lyrics) get a digital treatment of staggers and delays just as the song comes to a close.

With much to explore, and more to be excited about 'In The Food Chain' ends and you spin it up for another go-round, Noah Wall and his Jukeboxer friends have sent a very unique album into a confused world that may not be able to match - or translate - it's beauty.

Should the 2 above "previews" not sell you ('tough crowd!') - try the brief wind-up elegance of "My Eyes Are Only". If, after these three choice blessings, you still have found no place for Jukeboxer in your heart - someone may have swapped yours for Dick Cheney's defective unit.

Simply Amazing.......2004-01-09

From the guitars to the drums to the vocals, simply one of my favorite albums...These guys will be huge.
I have rarely heard such good songwriting on ONE album...every song is a gem.
Cant wait for the next one.

Why Haven't I Heard This on the Radio Yet???.......2003-03-25

I just saw these guys in Atlanta on Saturday night and bought their CD. This thing is GREAT!!! It's been a good while since I've put a new CD in my player and been totally overwhelmed with how good it is. If this thing can't make it on the radio, then I give up on the music scene. The songs are catchy, the sound as a whole is amazing, and the vocals are insane. Oh, and the live show??? These guys should be headlining arenas, not small dinky clubs in the south. If you don't have this CD yet, BUY IT!!!!

These boys are righteous.......2003-02-05

Caught their show in Mobile Saturday night, and picked up the disc afterwards, and I am so glad I did. Terrific guitars and a pounding rhythm section...usually my favorite parts. But there is another element to this band that hooks me, and its three part harmonies. These boys can sing. Sink your teeth into this cd, and meet them now before you have to stand outside a tour bus to get your shot.

Tim Copenhagen.......2003-02-04

I saw these guys live in Mobile, AL this past weekend and picked up my new favorite cd. Great guitar riffs and pounding rhythm section...and the vocals, my God the vocals are beyond belief. This isn't studio magic either, these cats pull it off live. Huge wall of sound for a three piece...buy this, you will NOT be disappointed.

This Band Rocks.......2003-01-14

What a great band! I haven't heard that great a sound in a while. I like the fact that nobody has really heard of them yet, they will! Everyone should buy this CD, just listen to the samples. I am already a fan and haven't even seen them live yet.
