Reviews of Which Studies The Past

"Which Studies the Past?"
SubPop, sp356

Reviewed by Keith McLachlan

The lilys are on a roll, everything they touch seems golden to the ear. This here single on subterranean pop is just brilliant. The a-side "Welfare Murder Plot" has nothing to do with welfare as far as I can hear, but what it is is a chugging tune fueled by infectious keyboards and wonderful vocals. This single was recorded with the guys from Apples in Stereo and the song shares a bit of their pop attitude. The flip is an authentic recreation of 60's style garage pop with the guitar up front and the vocals, well they aren't scorching, but they are more imperative than on the a-side.
