It has been a long time between albums-17
to be exact-for drummer/vocalist Will Rigby. The founding member
of the legendary dbs' is back with a second solo album that combines
down home indie-styled rock with quirky, incisive musings from
love to Dylan obsessions. The resulting sound is tight and spare:
the rockabilly, Dave Edmunds-styled "Got You Up My Sleeve,"
the powerpop of "Get Away Get Away," the twangy Beatlesque
"The Song Isn't Even About You," and the soulful, if
sarcastic, "Leanin' On Bob." Rigby lays down his authoritative
beats and sings like both a hillbilly and a punk. Paradoxaholic
offers some strong tunes from someone who hopefully won't take
another 17 years to make a record.
