The Clock Work Army Can't Hold It Down

The Clock Work Army

What can't the Clock Work Army hold down? A sneeze? A belly of booze? Their excitement at posing for a press photo? Don't know.

In terms of song, "It" would happen to be anxious and angular indie rock music. "It" can trace its roots to Dischord, post punk, and dance punk. "It" would also happen to be something sounding really good in my sound system right now.

I just listened to Can't Hold it Down, and I must admit, I'm actually quite impressed. If Natalie Merchant and Arcade Fire went back in time and had a secret love child, Clockwork Army would be the result. Dissonant chords are evenly matched by the singer's husky, yet surprisingly mellifluous, voice. Even Chuck Klosterman would enjoy this one...
