One of indie's most
continually shape-shifting bands, the Lilys perform another quick
change on their seventh album, Precollection. However, this
transformation feels more like a natural progression than their move
away from dream pop to '60s-inspired mod rock a few years previously;
this time, Kurt Heasley and company still look to that decade for
inspiration, but draw from the delicate, literate side of Love and the
Kinks' body of work. The dark, jangly sound of '80s college rock also
seems to be an inspiration, hovering around the title track and "365"
as though the band were channeling the Church. Most of the rest of
Precollection seems to come from a twilight era between 1966 and 1967
that mixes psychedelic, pop, and folk influences. Granted, most of
Heasley's work since A Brief History of Amazing Letdowns has its roots
firmly planted in this era, but he's never quite combined these
influence in this way before, and ironically enough, it's the closest
he's come to an original sound in some time. Precollection's breeziest
songs fare best: "Will My Lord Be Gardening" which, thankfully, isn't
quite as precious-sounding as the title implies and "Dunes" are equally
smart and sweet. However, the album's deeper psychedelic explorations
aren't always as rewarding: "Perception Room" is a winner, mixing the
droning, dreamy tendencies of Heasley's earlier work with the sparer
approach of his later albums, as is "Squares," which turns its heavy
Bryan MacLean influences into a positive rather than a negative.
"Catherine (let a positive stream...)" and "Meditations on Speed,"
however, are pleasant but just a little too hazy and unfocused to work
completely. Still, while Precollection isn't as stunning as something
like Eccsame the Photon Band, it doesn't feel as contrived as some of
the work the Lilys did during their mod rock dalliance; fans who have
stayed with the band this long will probably find the album a breath of
fresh air.
