The Society of Rockets "Plastic Stars" The Society of Rockets' tribute to the late Trish Keenan is built upon a keyboard part with a tonality that will be immediately familiar to fans of her work with Broadcast. This sound, like a sci-fi warning siren repurposed as an accent for languid melodies, was a key part of that band's aesthetic: Grim modern and futuristic sounds contrasted with Keenan's understated melancholy. Joshua Babcock conveys sadness in his vocal performance and melodies here, but he doesn't even attempt to approach her icy persona. He couldn't if he tried – [...]
Owing to the crippling insurance claims in the wake of numerous tongue trips Shimmer Kids Underpop Association decided it easier to remain in business as the Society of Rockets. That nomenclature also afforded them the opportunity to shorten their naming structure to Society thereby greasing entry into celebrity haunts. Seems to have worked as they have a new LP called 'Future Factory' that is worming its way into the right ears. Listening to 'We' this turn of events is not at all surprising given that it reminisces on ye olde Stereolab sound (before they grew up and decided to write [...]

Society of Rockets - "We" The Society of Rockets build their futuristic psychedelic pop songs out of the scraps of previous artistic visions of tomorrow. The sound is comforting and familiar, but there's also a vague sense of disappointment in the subtext: Our utopian concepts never work out. Nevertheless, the dream of progress does come true, at least in ways compromised by reality, so optimism is justified. "We" charges headlong towards some endless horizon, buzzing with excitement and courage. The band lifts its sound from Stereolab and Neu!, the vocal harmonies owe more to the Beach Boys. [...]

The Society of Rockets "Guess My Name" - This is life now -- everything you do is monitored via some form of surveillance, but you try to keep it out of your mind because if you dwell on it, you start to go crazy, and then the people who can watch you might start to actually pay attention. For a song about the impossibility of becoming invisible to The Man, "Guess My Name" is remarkably calm and relaxed, though maybe I'm just getting that mixed up with a feeling of resignation.
