简介

Allen Clapp专辑介绍:by Jason Ankeny Bus Stop's long-awaited reissue of Allen Clapp's 1994 solo debut One Hundred Percent Chance of Rain reveals the origins of the pure-pop mastery that bloomed with the emergence of his band the Orange Peels three years later. Though released at the peak of the lo-fi boom, the album's four-track approach is a product of necessity, not design, and with the benefit of hindsight, it's clear Clapp's crisp, catchy songs deserve far better realization than these solo recordings offer -- compare &Something Strange Happens,& arguably his finest moment to date, with the re-recorded version on the Orange Peels' Square LP and it becomes immediately obvious just how much a full backing band and a proper studio brings the material to life. What nothing can obscure is the breezy infectiousness of Clapp's melodies, however; the title to the contrary, One Hundred Percent Chance of Rain, reels off one sunny pop gem after another. Bonus points for the lead track, &Why Sting Is Such an Idiot& -- best title ever.
