Examiner.com
So what does the fastest rising band of the alternative rock era decide to do for an encore?They walk away from the fame. It’s not that they didn’t continue to sell records- their follow-up Vs. went seven times platinum. It’s just that they did nothing to capitalize on their success- in fact they rejected it entirely. There were no music videos no flashy television appearances and no mega-venues during their tour in promotion of the album.

Album Review: Julian Plenti – Julian Plenti Is’ Skyscraper
Consequence of Sound
Considering the many years this moniker has been put in the shadows behind the limelight of the collectivelly songwriting band-which-must-not-be-named it’d be easy to expect something of a creatively exploding ambition to settle the moniker in its own independent credibility. Yet it’s exactly this unsettling feeling of Banks still on his musical toes that intrigues and keeps the listeners on their toes. Through unruly alternative rock bashes that border on stubbornly dull (”Games For Days”) enchantingly skewed indie rock ballads รก la the style that Radiohead popularized (”nly If You Run” “Skyscraper” to name a few of the best that are present) and peculiarly melancholic pop passages (”Unwind”) Banks keeps the arrangements raw awkward and quirky. It goes without saying that it’s apparent that Banks truly masters his idea of how his anti-standards universe is going to sound even though the initial listen may give the listener an unfinished impression. However Banks sounds more like Banks than ever. Most songs sound like something that the band-which-must-not-be-named could possibly use as a step out of the comfort zone. There’s no doubt however that … Skyscraper is the album where the solo artist finds his own independent expression and presents it in an enjoyable fashion.
