Buzz is a bastard. When Voxtrot delivered their "good, not great" debut LP after amassing considerable hype, they all but disappeared from the indie-rock SoundScan. Sure, there was nothing as compulsively repeatable as "Mothers, Sisters, Daughters & Wives," but Voxtrot saw the Austin, TX quintet admirably pushing beyond their Smithsisms with some pleasantly fussy chamber rock. Last year, the "Trepanation Party" and "Berlin, Without Return…" singles veered into goth-synth gloom (with production from Spoon's Jim Eno) and the Bunnymen's Ocean Rain-era orchestral romance, respectively. Both sound as effortless as they do dramatic, and point toward a very bright and promising second act.
