Post a Comment. Friday, September 12, Archers of Loaf. I love the '90s. I often long for them. A time when everything seemed simpler. Maybe not really, but certainly in the world of indie rock. Things didn't need to be so dressed up; they could just be what they were. I just wish I had some sort of time portal because, as hip a five-year-old as I was, I some how didn't make it to any Tiger Trap shows. I also rediscovered my love for indie rock from the era this summer.
I was going through a particular phase with Archers of Loaf while in London, when a review of Oxford Collapse came up on Dusted: "Oxford Collapse is a throwback — to a time when indie rock didn't involve harps and trumpets, to a time when indie rock performers were smart people but not necessarily very good musicians, to a time when you could write pop songs that people liked and yet not really have any idea, yourself, why they worked.
Oxford Collapse doesn't sound like any one band in particular, but they do sound like the sort of band that might have been popular in the s, only to disappear in the new millennium, as if the Y2K bug had snarfed them or something. Think Archers of Loaf, or Boyracer who are actually still around , or Superchunk.
