Release Notes:
Legendary Pixies frontman still cranking out
surrealist alt-rock gems.
Good old Black Francis ?he's not a man to grow old
gracefully like the mainstream musos. Sure, he may
have made some significant excursions into
Americana and folk sounds under his 搑eal?name,
Frank Black. But when he wears the Black Francis
hat, he's still the darkly inventive surrealist who
led alt-rock legends Pixies to become one of the
most influential bands of the late eighties. No
meandering radio-friendly balladeering about
cornfields and half-formulated regrets here, no
sir.
Instead, Svn Fngrs ?seven songs in twenty minutes,
mostly made up from simple jangling punky chords on
guitar and sparse rat-a-tat drumming. The focus is
all on Black Francis' voice: muttering, ranting,
screeching, doing child-like falsettos, sounding
like a stoned night-watchman or a schizophrenic
cowboy or a drunken Elvis impersonator or ... or
all sorts of things, really. Sometimes all within
the space of a line or two, in fact.
And what lines they are. Black Francis songs are
always narratives ?little vignettes and character
sketches, miniature stories of strange people doing
normal things or normal people doing strange
things. More than half the fun is trying to work
out what they're really about.
Listening to Black Francis is like listening to a
quick-change impressionist who only does imitations
of real small-town characters that you've never met
before (and never will). It's kind of like a
road-movie, but made of music. And with a plot
written by David Lynch in an unusually carefree and
silly mood. Sort of.
That's the thing ?much like Pixies, Black Francis
is too big for the usual boxes, and the only one
you can fit him in comfortably is the custom-made
one with his own name written on it. He's a quirky
genius with a distinctive style, and Svn Fngrs is a
glimpse into the sideshow circus of his mind ?
simultaneously fun and disturbing, and as
compelling as a couple arguing about their
sex-lives in a crowded restaurant.
