Just as Woodsist, Not Not Fun and In The Red were preparing to unleash the whole shitgaze, no-fi movement on us, a little one man band called Night Control had already beaten his better known brethren to the punch with the early year release of "Death Control." Sounding like a bedroom mix of early Badly Drawn Boy (when he was respectable), the Stones, Big Star, John Lennon and Pavement, Night Control's Christopher Curtis Smith rocked as much as he postured for coolness' sake. Add to the mix a little lo-fi My Bloody Valentine-like experimentation and "Death Control" ended up being a great little album, and one worth a hell of a lot more attention than it received.
