 Adult.Gimmie Trouble Release Date 2005 10 11 Label Thrill Jockey Rating:  Playing like a longer, more streamlined version of the D.U.M.E. EP, Gimmie Trouble continues to explore Adult.'s punk leanings. Though nothing here is quite as unhinged as D.U.M.E., the band -- now a trio, thanks to the addition of guitarist and Tamion 12 Inch member Sam Consiglio -- still finds a lot to explore in that EP's taunting, pitch-black sound, particularly on &"Scare Up the Birds" and &"In My Nerves." Tracks like the tribal-sounding chant &"Disappoint the Youth" and the freezer-burn fury of &"Still Waiting" show that Nicola Kuperus remains as gleefully mean-spirited, witty, and paranoid as ever, although her shrieks at the end of &"Turn Into Fever" are genuinely fierce. The creepy little backing vocals on &"Helen Bach" and the goofy rhythm on &"Lovely Love" play up the theatrical and very, very dark sense of humor underlying a lot of Adult.'s later work without sounding too silly or parodic. Somewhat oddly, considering that Consiglio is now a full member of Adult. on this album, his guitars are less prominent here than they were on the EP, and are relegated to textures on most of Gimmie Trouble; indeed, tracks like &"Thought I Choked" and &"Seal Me In" are some of the band's sparest work in a while. Even though there are no radical changes here, Gimmie Trouble sounds more like Adult. sharpening its edges than running in place. Heather Phares, Rovi |
