Review of Creatures All Tonight

One of the important things the electronic music explosion created was a new language and vocabulary for rock-based songwriting. A new world dawned allowing one-person bands to maximize studio efficiency. This collection of hip tunes is built on heady melodies like those of “Notorious Double Dippers,” “The Ability to Spin” and “Always Come Back” add some post-rock spice to the recipe. I kept wanting to hear him pilfer Badly Drawn Boy or someone like that, but he didn’t. Every track has some element or another going for it.
