Description Invitation is the debut album by Filthy Friends, the new supergroup from Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney), Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Kurt Bloch (The Fastbacks), Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows, The Minus 5) and Bill Rieflin (King Crimson). The 12-song collection works through a flurry of different moods and styles, genre exercises and joyous experiments. The intricate guitar knots and blasts of bubblegum pop of Buck's beloved Television are all over the herky-jerky "Windmill." A mashup of '60s downer vibes and rootsy rumblings makes up the marvelous "Second Life" whereas "Come Back Shelley" is all swagger and glitz in the style of a lost glam rock 45. There ain't nothing this band can't do with the wet clay of rock music and what they sculpt out of it is pure art. . 1 Despierta 4:182 Windmill 3:563 Faded Afternoon 3:194 Any Kind Of Crowd 3:155 Second Life 2:386 The Arrival 2:197 Come Back Shelley 3:598 No Forgotten Son 3:139 Brother 3:4210 You And Your King 3:1011 Makers 2:2212 Invitation 2:34
