U.S.A Today
...The Dandy Warhols Come Down
by E.G.
September 3, 1997
It’s pop, but is it art? The Portland, Ore., band, which reinvents the soup can in its lovingly modernized reappraisal of the ‘60s, likes to keep listeners guessing. Disciples of rock in its glam, acid and punk phases, the Warhols evoke Velvet Underground and T. Rex in warm psychedelic noise spiked with bratty guitars and abrasive distortion. Standouts are Minnasoter, sonic sister to the B-52’s’ Private Idaho, and the cruelly funny Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth, a chirpy anti-drug song that exposes heroin chic as a fool’s paradise.
