Palaxy Tracks

Cedarland

BY Andrew SteenbergPublished Jun 1, 2003

You don’t fool me Palaxy Tracks, you bunch of bedroom rockers! You moved from Texas to Chicago to get closer to the Sea and Cake, you mix country, jazz and shoegazer fuzz to make breezy, gentle lullabies, but deep down, you’re a bunch of diehard R.E.M. fans who made your sophomore disc Cedarland in your parents’ basement! Even the heaviest, most ambitious track, "Girls on Bikes,” sounds like Elastica comprised entirely of momma’s boys. But to be honest, now I don’t leave my parents’ basement because I can’t stop listening to this beauty of an album. Thanks a lot.
