The Halo Benders - Dont Tell Me Now
Review by Kareem Atif
The Halo Benders' "Don't Tell Me Now" is a quirky and eclectic album that showcases the talents of two indie rock legends: Calvin Johnson and Doug Martsch. Released in 1996, this record features a blend of lo-fi indie rock, punk, and experimental pop that is both playful and thought-provoking.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Virginia Reel Around the Fountain," a cover of a classic song by The Halo Benders' labelmates, The Smiths. Johnson and Martsch put their own spin on the song, infusing it with a raw energy and a sense of humor that is uniquely their own.
Another highlight of the album is "Canned Oxygen," a frenetic and catchy tune that showcases Martsch's guitar skills and Johnson's off-kilter vocals. The song is a perfect example of the Halo Benders' ability to blend different genres and create something that is both familiar and fresh.
