Invasive Exotics After years of gnashing their teeth wildly through the bible belt of Texas, Indian jewelry have emerged with their debut.
Customer Review: Indian jewelry rock my world. Period.
Indian jewelry, Invasive Exotics (Monitor Records, 2006)

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past couple of months listening to Invasive Exotics, trying to figure out what I think of it. I have come to the conclusion that I don’t like it as much as Indian jewelry’s debut album, Sangles Redux. But then, there are very few albums, by anyone, I like as much as I like Sangles Redux, so that’s not saying much. Truth be told, though, that’s part of my problem; mixed in with the real gems on this disc (”Health and Wellbeing,” “Partying with Jandek,” the awe-inspiring “Lesser Snake”) is a remix of “Lost My Sight” that I just can’t get past. The version on Sangles is one of those tracks you could just listen to over and over again. (I do, at times.) The new version is… meh. Why mess with perfection?

But, you know, it’s Indian jewelry. And it’s one annoying track. And while an Indian jewelry album can’t capture the fascination, ferocity, and almost ritual atmosphere of their legendary live shows, their albums come closer than those of any other legendary live band I can think of to doing so, and are thus more worth picking up. (If you have not yet heard Sangles Redux, you need it. Listen to “Going South” and tell me that is not a song that just begs for live performance. If you have not yet had the chance to see these guys live, do whatever you must.) This is very, very good stuff, and well worth your time. ***
