"It's not an Eighties record, but it's definitely approached more that way," says Warhols guitarist Peter Holmstrom. No kidding. On it's fourth album, the Oregon alt-rock band recruited Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes as co-producer, Simon LeBon as backup singer and Chic's Nile Rodgers as guest guitarist. The end result is leak and funky, tilting more toward early Gang Of Four than toward the classic-rock influences of thier last record, 2000's Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia.
