Album Notes
Scott Miller's first post-Game Theory release is a logical extension of his distinctive aesthetic, built out of the classic power pop of bands like Big Star and the Raspberries. With a title taken from the ubiquitous '70s single "A Horse With No Name," PLANTS AND BIRDS is chockfull of hooks, wordplay, odd references, and playful studio touches. But Miller's abundant cleverness might fall flat if not for his songwriting gifts, which enable him to transform his ambitions into seductive pop of the highest order. Indeed, in a perfect world, "Jimmy Still Comes Around," would be the power pop national anthem.Like Miller's previous works, this aural banquet will appeal especially to headphone-wearers: guitars float, shimmer, and explode; keyboards cascade and clang like wind chimes, disembodied voices and guitars float in and out. On the sound collage-like opener, Miller interpolates lyrics from songs by Alex Chilton and the Pixies among others, into a strange litany that melts into the Technicolor adrenaline rush of "Sword Swallower." Moments of lush beauty are many ("Aerodeliria" "Inverness," the postmodern campfire singalong "Take Me Down (Too Halloo)") but beneath the pretty wrapping lie Miller's often dark dreams of "elegant Stalins nine hundred stories down."

Editorial Reviews
3.5 Stars - Very Good - ...His songs, though insinuatingly tuneful, can be maddeningly oblique....This time around, though, [Scott] Miller puts his emphasis not on the words but on the melodies....odds are you won't really care what the lyrics mean...Melody Maker (4/3/93, p.31) - ...a fluorescent bouquet....song after song comes tumbling in, each of them smothered by tunes that delight you...
