Hockey's debut MIND CHAOS was initially going to be released by Sony Records--the band even got as far as reworking some of their demos in the studio with producer Jerry Harrision--but the album was left in limbo when the label dropped the band. MIND CHAOS got a new lease on life when Hockey's songs made their way to BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe, whose championing of the band's strutting "Learn to Lose" helped earned them another major label deal. It's easy to hear why two big labels were interested in MIND CHAOS; Hockey's angular basslines, chugging guitars and washy keyboards call to mind tried-and-true, new wave-tinged acts like the Strokes, OK Go and the Killers. For most of the album, the band doesn't stray far from this style, and considering that it had been around for awhile before MIND CHAOS's 2009 release, it sounds effective, but not especially fresh. Most of the band's character resides in Ben Grubin's raspy vocals, which lie somewhere in between a young Rod Stewart and the Strokes' Julian Casablancas, and his surprisingly smart lyrics. He's nothing if not self aware: Grubin sings about writing "a truthful song over an '80s groove" on the Cars-like "Song Away," the only Harrison-produced song that ended up on MIND CHAOS' final version. Elsewhere, his hyper-literate tales of self-loathing posers and late-night intrigue give Hockey an appealingly witty personality. When the band stretches out, they get intriguing, if mixed, results: "Work" reveals a slinkier, smokier side to Hockey, as well as a disco fetish, while "Preacher" travels from a gospel-infused ballad to blazing rock. MIND CHAOS is an uneven but promising debut. Considering how much difficulty the band experienced in getting it out, it'll be interesting to hear what they do with the (hopefully) easier road ahead of them.

Editorial reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- [I]mpossible to resist....Everything is tackled with such boundless energy and seamless pop nous it seems churlish to not join in the fun.

Condition of CD:  STILL SEALED CD!
 


2009 debut album from the fast-rising Pop band. Hockey season starts early this year! With a tremendous buzz that started offside in the UK, Portland, Oregon's Hockey are set to drop the puck in North America with the release of Mind Chaos. The album is a remarkably cohesive debut, marked by their ingenious, assured song-craft typified by their New-Wave-Dance-Rock-flavored sound.


One review reads "This ain't no Roxy Music," chirps Hockey's Ben Grubin on the first album by his currently hot foursome from Portland, Oregon. He can say that again. He could also add that, despite the wild-eyed comparisons flying around the internet, this ain't no LCD Soundsystem, either. Mind Chaos is the product of a guitar band who occasionally let their bassist and drummer get into a slouchy, hip-swinging groove (hence the purported similarity to LCD), but mainly stick to the alt-rock blueprint of clanging guitar and sardonic lyrics. Grubin's wordy lyrics will pique the interest of other shy types, but it's the music's freewheeling sparkiness that really hits home: the piano-bashing Preacher, the New Order-influenced thrumming bassline of 3am Spanish and Song Away's punchy choruses.
