	• SKU: 14005682 • UPC: 803238012520 • Shipping: $1.95 • Description: Aislers Set: Amy Linton (vocals, guitar); Wyatt Cusick (guitar); Alicia Vanden Hueval (bass); Yoshi Nakamoto (drums). Recording information: 2002. How I Learned to Write Backwards, the third and brightest album from San Francisco retro-minded indie pop sweethearts the Aislers Set, would also be their last before a lengthy ongoing hiatus. Recorded by bandleader/producer/songwriter Amy Linton in her garage for a series of months just before its early-2003 release, the album's production is a key element in what makes its sound so unique. The songs, though always vibrant, are more spacious and open than on earlier albums like their layered 1998 debut Terrible Things Happen or its more chamber pop-informed 2000 follow-up, The Last Match. Linton's 11 stripped-down tunes here manage to reference a pantheon of '60s pop inspirations from a knowing distance, quietly tucking moments of jangly folk-rock, exotica, orchestral chamber pop, and a whole lot of Phil Spector-modeled reverb into the corners of her eerie but melodic songs. The same tense balance between looming paranoia and youthful lightheartedness that defined albums like Love's Forever Changes shows up in the jumpy pace and bullfighter horn arrangements of tunes like "Mission Bells" and "Attraction Action Reaction." Bubblegum organ adds a wistful undercurrent to "Through the Swells," minimal Pet Sounds-y bursts of playground percussion and beachy Fender bass open up the uneasily melodic "Catherine Says," and "Melody Not Malaise" wanders through an arrangement of skeletal rhythms, bounding trumpets, and Linton's softly searching vocals, all coated in Wall of Sound reverb as they roll through the song's various key changes. Linton's smoky, detached vocals and carefree, meandering songwriting style have often been compared to Laura Nyro's soulful tunes, but the layered vocals and occasional moments of lonely twang of "Emotional Levy" or the piano-led "Sara's Song" hint more at the influence of lesser-known songwriter Judee Sill, though the sleigh bells and cooing backing vocals are decidedly Nyro-esque. The songs are short throughout, a few extremely quick bursts of fuzzy noise pop like "Languor in the Balcony" existing alongside the more orchestrated tunes and offering both an exciting counterpoint and a reminder of Linton's days in the fantastic Henry's Dress. For all the album's winking nods to '60s pop, nothing shines more than the singularity of Linton's surefooted songwriting, always pacing back and forth between tenderness and anxiety. Though the band was never a household name in its time, echoes of its slow-burning genius could be heard in later generations of edgy indie pop songwriters that followed. How I Learned to Write Backwards stands as a masterwork in an unflinchingly great catalog, easily their most comprehensive statement and full of a foggy kind of bliss that no other band after them ever quite replicated. ~ Fred Thomas

The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday because for many retailers it was the day they went from being in the red to being in the black when they became profitable for the year. It is also the official beginning of the holiday shopping season, and Black Friday has become known for some of the best bargains, discounts and deals of the entire year! Everyone has watched stampeding crowds on the local news or diehard bargain hunters camping out overnight so they can be among the first to grab limited black friday specials at their favorite local retailers... However, if you prefer doing your holiday discount shopping from the warm and cozy comfort of home, then Cyber Monday was designed with you in mind! Online retailers spotted the Black Friday frenzy sweeping across the country as it took over brick and mortar locations - rather than compete for your black friday attention, they concocted a day that is all their own and named it Cyber Monday! The Monday after Thanksgiving is when your favorite online stores slash prices and offer their very best prices to help usher in the online holiday shopping season! That means big savings for you whether you choose to brave the local crowds on Black Friday or avoid the madness by browsing online during Cyber Monday Sales! Not to worry - the Friday and Monday after Thanksgiving might get the most attention for discount holiday shopping, but if you procrastinate beyond that magical bargain hunting window it doesn't mean you will be completely left out... In fact, this promises to be an exceptionally consumer-friendly holiday shopping season with sales, coupons and discounts extending far beyond Black Friday and Cyber Monday and allowing you to find the best prices on holiday gifts until the very last minute!
