Credits

Lead Performance: Thomas Jefferson Slave Apartments; Genre: Indie Rock

By Ethan Smith

On their succinct (39 minutes) major label debut, the Columbus, Ohio, quartet evokes the entire history of Midwestern garage music, from Detroit's proto-punk MC5 to Minneapolis' visionary postpunk Replacements. Sneering sarcasm is balanced by occasionally haunting guitar hooks over muscular bass riffs. Short on polish, long on charm.
