"Dislocated (London Version)" - the Playwrights
A splendid, dense, and affecting 21st-century amalgam of Gang of Four and the Jam from an intense young British quintet. It's the melodica, to begin with, that has me paying attention, playing its wistful refrain in the intro underneath the slashing siren-like guitar dissonance that everyone like to call "angular." After that the song belongs to vocalist Aaron Dewey, a singer with a somewhat one-dimensional tone and not necessarily a great range but an arresting presence, at once matter of fact and disconcerting. Dewey doesn't quite sing what it sounds like he's singing, and doesn't quite say what he's actually saying (I strongly suggest you head to the band's web site, click on "lyrics," and follow the words as he sings; it really changes the experience of listening to the song). "Dislocated" has a closed-in melody, with one noterarely moving more than a step or two away from the previous note, and yet look at what Dewey does with it: in the chorus, for instance, when he sings "I am feeling"--it sounds like some great leap he's taking between "am" and "feeling" and yet it's just one full step. I'm fascinated by stuff like that. While music this urgent and serious-sounding can readily bog down in its own dire potency, the Playwrights save themselves by the the poignancy they mix into the stark, slashing drive. ("This is what happens when people open their hearts," Dewey sings at the end.) "Dislocated" was a song previously released on a CD single, and re-recorded (thus the "London version") for the band's first full-fledged, widely-released CD, "English Self Storage," which came out in March on Sink and Stove Records in the U.K., and is set for release in the U.S. later this month.
