Surrender to the Night (1997)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Trans Am; Genre: Indie Rock

Cross-pollinating electronic and rock music has become increasingly common in the past year — often with mixed results. On Surrender to the Night, Trans Am hybridizes better than most, eschewing the Muzak-y conventions that have already taken over trip-hop and replacing them with a blend of Wire-esque jaggedness, arena-rock machismo, and the occasional dance-friendly beat.
