This 'band' started in 2006 as a creative outlet for the post-teenage angst of Brian King and David Prowse. Originally intended to be a trio, the boys decided to forgo the logistical nightmare of having a 'lead singer' and do it themselves. As a consequence, Japandroids are 1 guitar, 1 set of drums, and 2 vocalizers. They call it garage rock. They don't care what you call it, as long as it's not minimal. Japandroids are maximal - a two piece band trying to sound like a five piece band. Supporting Japandroids gets you into Heaven - no questions asked. KISS OFF.
　　The 00s could definitely drive a stick shift, it just was too drunk to steer it. At the edge of the decade, we can only measure the progress bands have made in vague retrospect then any real collective sense of distance traveled. We didn't open with Joy Division and close with New Order. We didn't open with one Flamings Lips that changed into an entirely different Flamings Lips that would close the decade. We stagnated and traded any real examples of progress for a collection of some damn fine singles--enough to make you want to give up counting by the time you reach the 100,000 mark. The truth is that we don't have any more road left to run. Even if there was any, we already made a wrong turn back to our starting point.
　　Sobriety can only make pop songs sound smarter, which is never what pop music needs. Before you misread the tracklist and assume a lame Kiss cover is what you'll hear first, press play on album opener "The Boys Are Leaving Town" and find No Age exactly where you left them...next to The Get-Up Kids? The wondrous duo of the 00s tested-and-true two piece unit start the album on an energy high with it's hidden merit sucked away by the tremendous "Young Hearts Spark Fire". It's easy to forget what's so great about hearing a song that reminds you of five others, but then something special like this track comes along and cuts through it all like a knife. In all it's four minute glory, Japandroids place us in a volleyball match between No Age and Billy Corgan. It's a sort of throwback to nothing that rings truer than anything affiliated with any blog worthy scene of late.
　　If there is anything that invokes both pure joy and sadness, it's nostalgia. A vague term that we use to abashedly announce our sentimentality to all things not now. Perhaps it is all too revealing when we say an album feels like something we had with us long ago, spawning a peculiar nostalgia from a time where it did not exist. It's high praise when you immediately associate feelings to something you hardly know, but when those Siamese Dreams guitars of "Young Heart Spark Fire" erupt it becomes hard to hide your heart from your sleeve. I'm sure lots of people who haven't taken to this new Cali noise pop trend, and this element will be the first and last defining element they'll take away from Post-Nothing. So often do these songs sound like a MTV2 ready No Age, but that is hardly a fault with them. It's not as essential as Paul Bank's or Julian Casablanca's vocal make-up, but it adds a sort of energy reminiscent of 90s indie-pop (think Superchunk, not Liars). It's hard to describe just what bands from the 90s these songs remind me of, but they definitely aren't exclusively MTV or college radio. "I Quite Girls" stands somewhere between Sunny Day Real Estate and Dishwalla (is it really just Smashing Pumpkin's "Mayonnaise" Pt. 2), "Wet Hair" somewhere between Dinosaur Jr. mid-80s and mid-90s, and "Sovereignty" is proof that the only wrong amount of "Teen Age Riot" rip-offs is no "Teen Age Riot" rip-offs. With only a couple real mistakes ("Heart Sweats"), Post-Nothing stands as one of the decade's last shining moments. A couple more great singles to throw on to the pile, if nothing else.
　　NOTE: I made this under the influence of a strange concoction of vodka, pineapple extract, and Robitussin. It's a hell of a drink!
　　WHAT the hell was I talking about?
