Rainer Maria
If nothing else, with the release of Long Knives Drawn, Rainer Maria have shown everyone one thing: nine is their magic number. Four LPs under their belts and four albums with exactly nine songs. Not too typical, but this trio has hardly ever been conventional. One look at their set-up shows that to be true. There are few bands who have been as ...

Look Now Look Again
(1999)

by
Rainer Maria
Rainer Maria's Look Now Look Again could quite possibly be the last great album from the now tired emo rock scene. Using the loud-soft dynamics of emo and the catchy playfulness of indie pop proves to be a delicious combination, and Rainer Maria pull it off with grace and intelligence. Sometimes sentimental, but never too sappy, Look Now Look ...

This Is Next Year: A Brooklyn-Based Compilation

by
Various Artists
From the start of the piano-laced "Radio" by the Walkmen, it's obvious that listeners are in for a ride when listening to This Is Next Year: A Brooklyn-Based Compilation. That song is followed by "I've Got a Fang," which is new territory for They Might Be Giants. The song is a hard rocker, with John Linnell's vocals noticeably lower than normal. ...

Hell and High Water
(2000)

by
Rainer Maria
Someone in Rainer Maria must have just gotten out of a relationship around the time that they recorded Hell and High Water. Both sides of this single lyrically deal with post-breakup trauma, rebound relationships, and bickering couples. As sung on the acoustical B-side of "Paper Sack," "So there's your coat and here's your hat/I couldn't fight my ...

Atlantic

by
Rainer Maria
Rainer Maria's Atlantic EP gathers three pretty, earnest songs that continue the quieter direction of Look Now, Look Again: the ballads "Atlantic" and "There Will Be No Night," and the relatively upbeat "Soul Singer." The first two songs in particular showcase the group's talent for writing subtly hypnotic guitar figures and feature some of Kyle ...

Rainer Maria
Emo-core darlings Rainer Maria stay close to heartache and dogmatic independence on their third full-length, A Better Version of Me. Sincerely endearing thanks to the band's passion for poetry and romanticism, classic visceral lyrics are clearly depicted, harmonic story lines picking things up where their critically received sophomore effort Look ...

ReDirection: A Polyvinyl Sampler
(2001)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Straddling the indie and post-rock worlds (often one in the same, really), Chicago's Polyvinyl label has earned praise from a streak of releases from groups like Aloha, Radio Flyer, Paris, Texas, and the sadly defunct Braid. Tossed-off roster compilations from indie labels are a hot thing, but ReDirection instead serves notice to just how deep and ...
