...The Dandy Warhols Come Down
by Steve Malins
June 1998
This second album by Oregon's pop art fops is a perverse mixture of West Coast psychedelia, the foxy glam of New York Dolls and Birmingham's Duran Duran. It's very knowing stuff, led by the pincer-cheekboned singer Courtney Taylor who co-produced and wrote most of the songs on the album. His downbeat vocals create a narcotic, emotionally stifled atmosphere, summing up the band's comedown after signing to a major and allegedly blowing their advance in one long party. The album also survives the band's weakness for self-indulgence through Taylor's dynamic pop hooks, which have already carried Every Day Should Be A Holiday into the Top 30 and made Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth one of the best singles of 1998.
