Portastatic - Be Still Please [CD]

Their second release of 2006 and ninth full-length sounds as fresh as ever. Analytically angry, melding darker imagery with indignation, Mac McCaughan also musters the werewithal to remain hopeful. BE STILL PLEASE continues the full-on rock band sound of 2005s BRIGHT IDEAS but with more of an emphasis on the orchestration featured in his soundtrack work, WHO LOVES THE SUN.
