From Stomp and Stammer
June 2002 Issue
For a band working in a basic psychedelic pop format, Atlanta's Silent Kids sure
manage to invest a pipeload of inventive vision into their music. They've
been operating under the radar for far too long, but their excellent new full-length
disc Tomorrow Waits (following an EP of several years back) should help
pull them out of the bog. Possible influnences would include mid-period Beatles, Be Bop
Deluxe, early Eno, and all that British art rock, even the paisley underground LA stuff, but
who cares? This is incredibly well-crafted, melodic and memorable rock 'n' roll
that goes great with a cheap beer or a bag of shrooms, whatever floats yer jalopy.
Elements cease and other begin before you have a chance to exhale, the guitars
sear your cranium like a laser beam, sound effects from the old Lost In Space TV
Program boing around all over the place...If they were cool enough, they'd be
recruited by Elephant 6 years ago. But then they'd suck by now.
