It was once alt rock's world and we just lived in it. Clubs and record stores teemed with buzzy guitar bands covering the style spectrum from full-on metal to delicate chamber pop. Grunge became a lifestyle and labels large and small rushed in to sign them, building entire rosters of alt rock heroes. But change is inevitable and rock has faded. Which means a band like El Camino Acid—Evan Westfall and Conor Stratton (both on guitars and vocals), Wes Gilbert (bass), and Henry Allen (drums)—who would've once been just one among many, are now following a path much less trodden.
Sunset Motel, the band's sophomore album, was recorded in Chicago and their hometown of Columbus, Ohio, produced by Twin Peaks' Colin Croom, and engineered by Andrew Hump; Croom also adds guitars, keys, vocals and percussion. At this point in their young career, words will never be El Camino Acid's biggest concern or greatest strength. Most are lines like "Mirror mirror keep her outta my way" delivered over and over for emphasis, and like most young bands, focused on subjects like love relationships. In "Somebody Like You," the line "I need somebody" becomes a chant. In "Fight for It," the lines "I will fight to the end/ To see you again," sums up the mission. But who comes to an album like this seeking words rather than energy?
Captured in suitably crowded, loud sound, the opener "Get Along," is a chiming slice of power pop with telltale likable chord changes. "Chang the Banker" is a fast rush whose repeated key line asks that universal imponderable: "Chang, why won't you sell weed again?" The hooks range from the heavier power chord riff rock of "Can't Afford to Be Like This" to the snappy, near folk rock of "Start Again" to the winning power pop of the album's most appealing number, "Near or Far." The album closes on "Don't Wanna Lose You" with Croom's keyboards providing much of the body of the tune behind a seesawing guitar figure. Odd as it is to say, these guys are almost a new flavor, certainly an outlier today. Could it be that guitar bands have gone so far out of fashion that they are in danger of becoming cool again? Nah, but Sunset Motel makes it fun to remember.
