The Paranoid Style - Rolling Disclosure
The Paranoid Style started here (leaving aside their early EPs and cassettes), and knew exactly what they were doing right out of the gate.
Think "early Blondie” with super smart lyrics. And, since I just played "Where's My Utopia?”…an unmistakable rocking-towards-the-end-of-the-world vibe.
Clearly nice to have friends like Scott McCaughey hanging around, too.
@hadley. I haven't read #Anti-intellectualism in American Life in a long while (as in since graduate school!) and #TheParanoidStyle in American Politics. Time to reread.

And holy cow, this great Zevon piece:

For those interested, Elizabeth Nelson - primary force behind The Paranoid Style - is a great writer, too; her Pitchfork reviews are uniformly excellent. An example:

The Paranoid Style - The Interrogator
Fan of hyper-articulate art-garage?
Does “Peter Holsapple of the dB’s is now in the band, and Will Rigby (also of the dB’s) appears on this” appeal?
Does “Scott McCaughey of the Minus 5 has been on previous albums” speak to you?
It should…
Esto se llama «The Interrogator» de la banda estadounidense The Paranoide Style, que fue fundada en 2012 por el matrimonio Elizabeth Nelson y Timothy Bracy. Según RYM, su género es Indie Rock y Power Pop. Wikipedia dice Garage rock, new wave revival e indie pop.
Me parece un proyecto bien interesante 👌🏻

The overwhelming sense is that she’s seen it all, or at least that it’s important for the listener’s suspended disbelief to think so. https://dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/741152238164131840/the-paranoid-style-the-interrogator-barnone #theparanoidstyle #barnonerecords #Music
