Details: Amazon.ca Eyes Adrift represents the first teaming up of Krist Novoselic with guitarist Curt Kirkwood and drummer Bud Gaugh. Novoselic's previous project, Sweet 75--a misplaced team-up with a Seattle-based Brazilian singer--should never have deserved a release, but rock has always placed great store in its own heritage. Fortunately so, as the ex-Nirvana bassist's new band Eyes Adrift--a "tragedy all stars"--draws on a rich vein of lilting psychedelic country rock that borrows heavily from the mid-period career of another of its members, the Meat Puppets' Curt Kirkwood (Nirvana had already famously acknowledged the Meat Puppets' influence on their MTV Unplugged album). No worrying third language vocals here: instead, there's resonant Americana, strung out over solid, mature vignettes like "Alaska" and "Pyramids", augmented by Gaugh (ex-Sublime)'s sensitive drums. No howls of rage here, just lyrical poignancy. --Everett True
