My review of Trans Am’s new live album, What Day Is It Tonight? ran today in the Boston Phoenix. It’s a nice introduction to the band, and a lot of fun, though I’m still a little suspect of their intentions. I reviewed Sex Change for ALARM and I’m honestly having a hard time remembering much of it, though I know I enjoyed it. Trans Am’s music is an irony-laden pastiche of various bits of popular music, hitting all the right buttons but in many ways lacking the unique spark that makes music really stick with you. I really enjoyed this disc, don’t get me wrong, especially the vocoder-heavy cuts from Futureworld.
