The Dream of a Modern Day(2001)--代表作

AMG RATING:

This Michigan group blends the smooth, lush vocals of cellist Allysa Massais and guitarist Andrew Prinz with pulsing, rhythmic percussive beats to create a colorful, textured and mature work that can only be in a sense dubbed rare musical genius. The lyrics of songwriting team Prinz and Massais feed off each other magically and with great melodic warmth, bringing to the listener the purest joy of harmony. Dynamics are certainly a large influence on this record, conveyed with strength and forwardness, to take the sound of the material to a more compelling stratosphere. The mixture of sound and words in this record from a production standpoint is high quality, and the playability is fine indeed. Even with a touch of beautifully arranged cello and rich, layered guitars, the spark and enthusiasm of the duet's vocals are subtle and serene, and do not lose their quiet but passionate appeal. A charming record of experimental indie rock, Mahogany has finally received their chance to create a gem of music after issuing several acclaimed EPs. The Dream of a Modern Day is inventive, introspective, and quite compelling and is a must-have for fans of this genre. Look out for more of this band, for their future endeavor's are bright and possibilities （by Shawn M. Haney ）

Connectivity! (2006)--

Mahogany return with Connectivity!, embracing Factory Records’ chill, the Cocteau Twins’ radiance, and Brian Wilson’s optimism. It is the group’s most evocative and delicately complex work, employing every instrument, voice, and magic black box within Mahogany’s new studio, the Civil Defense. Mahogany’s massive, celestial, guitar-driven sound is ultimately unique.

–NEW YORK TIMES--“Over the crisp geometry of drum-machine rhythms and rectilinear vocal melodies, a la Stereolab, guitars and celli shimmer and splash, enriching the structures by blurring them. This is heaven-sent manna.” 

 –PITCHFORK--“People who are into dream pop and classic UK shoegazer rock need to give this band a listen, as they’re among the best bands currently doing this stuff.”
