On BUILDING A BUILDING, Dallasbased trio SLOWRIDE offers catchy, emotionally complex singalongwiththecarwindowsdown songs without recycling anything from previous efforts. Though unrelenting with tight bass, drums and forceful guitar parts, they incorporate close harmonies and melodies with garageish influences. It adds up to a record you won't feel guilty singing along with. SLOWRIDE begins the attack with the onetwo punch of Smoke Cigarettes and Panther 1. The driving rhythm of the former brings the listener through lyrics such as "we take what we want / it don't matter where it's from / we're two of a kind / and I love you in my mind" and pushes right into Panther 1, the headbobbing, handclapping single with a diagnosis of "easy come / easy go / was his message / and the worst one he could send me." The frenetic pace continues with New And Entitled in which singersongwriter Dan Phillips pleads, "this is doomsday / you gotta believe me."
