by teaming with seattle pals pete buck (rem) and scott mccaughey (the minus 5), hitchcock has made a return to garage rock not heard since 1989's queen elvis. more than capable musicians, buck and mccaughey are long-time fans of the legendary british songwriter -whose droll lyrics and quirky melodies recall the late syd barrett - and they grasp the assignment with aplomb. buck's indelible guitar instills a chiming luster to songs like "underground sun" and "red locust frenzy," while mccaughey provides a random, finger-snapping piano to the delightful "belltown ramble," which finds hitchcock serving as the clever hobnobbing tour guide of his favorite emerald city neighborhood.
