Title: Edgy angst-filled guitar and drums
Review: 764-Hero is John Atkins and Polly Johnson, and like another NW band the Spinanes, create songs without a bassist. While the songs on this album do contain pop hooks, they are usually buried under various levels of noise and overtones. Atkins' voice warbles and occasionally screams, as on the opening noise-rock feast "Comb the Carpet", but occasionally hits some soft notes too, as on the albums closer which pairs an acoustic guitar with extraneous synthesizer noise. "Wait Until 5" and "Check the Address" are a little more poppy that the other songs, my favorite is "I'm Lying" which features Polly's dad Ward on organ, who coincidentally also used to be an Amazon employee.
