What's worse than an album full of nothing but bad songs? An album like The Death of Quickspace, the U.K.-based outfit's third full-length release, which boasts two excellent cuts hidden among several tracks of anonymous indie rock. It's frustrating to taste such brilliance amid such mediocrity. The Death of Quickspace shows promise early on with the second cut, the Slint-by-way-of-Stereolab "They Shoot Horse, Don't They?" However, that bit of aural manna is followed by "Climbing a Hill," an go-nowhere bit that spends 11 minutes sulking under a dull fog. Frontman Tom Cullinan resigns himself to the background, a cruel tactic for those who enjoyed his work with cult-rock heroes Th' Faith Healers. Aside from unleashing the tasty Krautrock throwback "The Munchers" midway through the proceedings, Quickspace seem to be the only ones looking forward to death. Let's hope they find a renewed faith in life and return to the promise hinted here. --Jason Josephes
