Sounds Like: This: LISTS is the testimony of a band that has reached ramming speed. Not only is it musically clever in every way possible, but this record makes me wonder and just a little bit afraid of about a thousand different things that happen in my head and heart every day. (And I can only assume that they're happening to everyone else at the same time, which just sweetens the deal.) Unit 7 Drain’s work is like a spotlight searching in a dark room, glancing off of the corners and flashing shadows on the walls. Shadows of things rarely look like the things themselves and there is something unnerving about that. -Jim Phillips Weekly AlibiAvailable in Albuquerque at Natural Sound.Or buy it online at: www.cdbaby.com/cd/unit7drain5
