THE BUILDING PRESS stands alone in Seattle.
No one else plays music there like this, or even a remote approximation
of their new material. Frankly, THE BUILDING PRESS of today sounds
less and less like The Building Press of yesterday, one that released
a fine record on Seattle's Woodson Lateral label before getting signed
to 54º40' or Fight!.
Young Money is a dark record, one whose sonic texture and songwriting represents a radical departure from their previous full-length, Amplitudes of Frequencies Over Time.
Vocals are present on every song, which will surprise those who missed
their sixty or so shows last year where the trio honed their new material.
Whereas Amplitudes was almost exclusively
vocal-free, guitarist A.P. Schroder sounds like a drunken lounge singer
up for a week on crank. Eric Junge, formerly of the now-defunct prog-visionaries
Vermilion, has supplanted Jim Acquavella. Jeff Woodke's basslines
have taken on a lust-driven, sultry quality to them that lends itself
to the sexual nature of the music. Nothing overt or distasteful, mind
you (Robert Plant's vocalized orgasms have no place within these walls),
but lest we forget, sex is at the root of rock & roll. Just don't
expect THE BUILDING PRESS to be pouting for the camera in a blue jeans
commercial; being described as US Maple misinterpreting early June
of '44 at The Fall's press conference is no way to land one's self
in a Gap ad. So c'mon. Have some ugly with your beauty.
