When not bludgeoning her drum set in the mighty Sleater-Kinney, Janet Weiss keeps her rhythmically primal needs in check with long time associate (and indeed ex-husband) Sam Coomes in Quasi. Forget any White Stripes comparisons because she can actually play. he doesn't need anger management classes and together they create the kind of vibrant indie-rock that's guaranteed to prick up the ears of long-time Flaming Lips fans. Although as tuneful as ever. tracks like ‘Alice The Goon’ and ‘Peace And Love’ reflect these tumultuous political times with a new and surprisingly vicious sonic edge that even they probably didn't think they could muster. when the going gets dark, Quasi get going.
