Texas Platters

Alternative tracks

BY AUSTIN POWELL



Shallows A.D.

Alien Nation (Deep Waste)

The bedroom project of one Matthew V, Shallows A.D. employs a 4-track and drum machine to masterful effect on this 13-song debut, recalling early Jesus & Mary Chain demos ("Thoughtcrime" and "Caress") and Nirvana With the Lights Out ("Wander Away," "Rat Rock"). Worth tracking down, especially for the mellower moments, "Grand Enclave" and "Left Alive."
