| 4.5 superb | theBonerKing | September 23rd 23 |
Acetone's final album presents an almost classic rock version of the band, with greater energy overall and more pronounced influences from psychedelic and blues rock largely superseding the country flavors that were more pronounced on the band's self-titled album. The album is structured more like a vinyl-era LP as well, with the first half containing relatively tight rock songs and the second half consisting mostly of more drawn-out slowcore tunes. Even more so than its predecessor, York Blvd. is a document of a band in peak form; if their song structures are not always particularly interesting, the band always sound perfectly locked in to each other, Richie Lee and Steve Hadley's rhythm section providing solid foundational grooves with plenty of subtlety that perfectly complement Mark Lightcap's guitar work. There's nothing terribly "heady" about this music but it's hard to complain when it goes down so damn smoothly. Just absolutely lovely stuff - it's an absolute shame things had to end they way they did for these guys.
