Alarma! (Deluxe Edition) by Daniel Amos - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Volume 1

Volume 2

Shortly after the release of Horrendous Disc, longtime DA fans were shocked to find the band suddenly metamorphosed from a country & western outfit into a quirky, occasionally disturbing new wave band on this freaky-looking album featuring the band members with their eyes airbrushed out. Off-beat harmonies reminiscent of Rick Ocasek or David Byrne are mixed with lyrics full of literary and topical references. This was hardly what anyone had expected. Punk-influenced two-beat rhythms abound here. Packaged with a surreal text called The ¡Alarma! Chronicles that compliments the songs, this record hit a mark way ahead of its time. Recording quality is a little shoddy in places, but what it loses in hiss and noise it more than makes up for in ingenuity. ~ Mark W. B. Allender
