5 out of 5 stars high highs indeed.......2002-09-17

if you dug the first koester record, which i did, this one's a real eye-opener: whereas "oh turpentine" was a wee-hours, insomniac's tour of past romantic conquests and libidinous lost opportunities, "high highs" is a blast of morning sunlight through a grimy bedroom window. less stripped down, more diverse -- with more rockers, and an almost 80s techno feel at times -- "high highs" takes on familiar koester themes in engagingly unfamiliar ways. there's a sense here of conflicting genres being wrestled into submission, and, thankfully, they refuse to comply: the keyboard is, weirdly, king on this record, and provides the record's extreme moods, laying down pastoral orchestral overblow a la led zeppelin on "blood red poppies" and busting out the kraftwerkian teutonic funk on "vow" and "transistor sister." a truly ambitious, ante-upping sophomore effort from a fine songwriter, with heady production from sparklehorse-associate alan weatherhead.

I absolutely love this CD. It took me a spin or two to lock in, but then I was hooked. How to describe? Beatiful songs, great lyrics, somer freaky tones, some real rock. I am a big fan of Wilco & The Flaming Lips and think that The High Highs The Low Lows is right up there with Yankee & Yoshimi. "RIchard It's Time" is achingly beautiful. "Mrs Saturday Night Special" is a great wig-out. The static epic "Flowering Judas" has got to be my favorite song of the past year. . .
