“ With Bakesale, Sebadoh has trimmed down to Lou Barlow, Jason Loewenstein, and Bob Fay, with Barlow and Loewenstein taking on the lion’s share of the songwriting. Maybe the change in personnel was needed, because Bakesale is their most accessible, concise work to date. Without the noise that usually envelops their records, the solid, unconventional pop songwriting of Barlow and Loewenstein shines through brightly. [AMG]

As a songwriter, Lou Barlow is the Joni Mitchell of indie rock’s low-fi chic. His simple, often acoustic-based pop melodies are packed with twisted, unresolved feelings of romance, loss, obsession and self-doubt. Sebadoh are Barlow’s Velvet Underground, wrapping his confessions in fuzz, hiss and distortion and setting them alongside complementary songs by band mates Jason Loewenstein and Eric Gaffney. Although Barlow’s is the band’s strongest personality, the depth and dynamics of Sebadoh’s music lie in the group’s democratic approach: The members trade off on guitar, bass and drums, and their individual songs offer slightly differing perspectives.
