Chris Knox – SEIZURE ((Vinyl)) – Default Title

There’s really little to distinguish this from a Tall Dwarfs record of the same period. Knox may be writing and playing everything, but it’s very close in tone and tune to what he makes with Alec Bathgate — eclectic, psychedelic noise with lo-fi production values. If you need to differentiate, this seems to be somewhat cruder and more noise-oriented than the Tall Dwarfs projects; song titles like “The Woman Inside of Me” and “Rapist” are indication enough that the subjects stray just as far from the hit parade. If you like Tall Dwarfs well enough to pick up their albums every time you see one, you will want this as well, but if your interest is more casual, you’d be better off sticking with one or two Tall Dwarfs records. ~ Richie Unterberger
