Two especially choice quotes from the new (August) issue of Uncut: “‘Laika,’ with Pixies-ish call and response, has Tom Verlaine guitar harmonics over ? & the Mysterians staccato rhythms.” “…‘Chelsea Burns’ is a frazzled, Mazzy Cohen hymn to beautiful losers.” Wonder if even Leonard Cohen gets the “Mazzy” part.

Faithfull, Marianne. Marlboro-voiced pop survivor who has shed her earlier incarnations—as the English-rose chanteuse of the baroque-pop Jagger-Richards song “As Tears Go By” and the wasted Rolling Stones concubine who inspired and co-wrote “Sister Morphine”—to become the witty, Weimarish den mama of indiedom. Having first gone down this path with 1979’s comeback LP, Broken English, Faithfull cashed in her formidable equity as a Rock Snob icon by recording her 2002 album, Kissin’ Time, with top-ranking collaborators Beck, Billy Corgan, and Jarvis Cocker.
