Six sinewy songs stripped of fat and tense with hunger. Where harmonies waver and twist into half-screams, and emotional vocals cut right through trebly two-dollar guitar kicks.

Details:
The album reinvents itself in a very simple manner a few times, with everything from the sonic howl of "30th and El Cajon" to "Stormy Weather" sultry blue.

So far, bands have done pretty well at stripping music down to a minimum. Few have figured out how to make big songs without a big noise. That sound is apparent in "Poseidon."

"And your lips could sink ships in a cold, cold sea Poseidon," vocalists/hot item Jen Jansen, bass, and M. Simon Mandel, guitar, harmonically drone. The two trade lines over distorted minimalist head-bobber, but they're best when they chime in together.

In other words, the band shares more with House of Large Sizes than a romantically involved couple at the helm. While HoLS took a shot at fame 10 years ago, though, The Displaced seems poised to look labels in the eye right now. - Jeff Mitchell
