Santa Monica-based indie rock outfit Chief's low-key debut oozes California sunset melancholy. The quartet's languid, guitar-driven highway pop is built upon a foundation of blue-collar radio favorites like Neil Young and the Band, as well as the early-'90s alt-rock of Toad the Wet Sprocket and Red House Painters, and the resulting Modern Rituals feels a little stuck in the middle. Earnest, melodic, and slow to unfold, there's not a bad song on here, but surprises are few and far between. Midtempo rockers like "Nothing's Wrong" and "Breaking Walls" breeze by on the strength of tight, reverb-heavy production, thanks in part to Grammy Award-winning producer Emery Dobyns and vocalist Danny Fujikawa's expressive pipes, but it's a pace that rarely deviates. That said, there are some gems here, including the dark Fleet Foxes-meets-Tom Petty mid-album dirge "Stealing," the spacious, harmony-laden "This Land," and the warm, weary, "Wild Mountain Thyme"-inspired "Irish Song," all suggesting that Chief can hold their own amidst the current crop of windswept West Coast indie rockers like Band of Horses, Wild Light, and Port O'Brien. ~ James Christopher Monger

Uncut - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he exciting, poppy chorus of 'The Minute I Saw It' and plaintive sigh of 'This Land' suggest hidden depths." Paste - "The members of Chief have great pipes and each song on their debut LP MODERN RITUALS is centered on a soaring explosion of vocal euphony that could melt the heart of even the most jaded music fan." Pitchfork - "RITUALS, the group's full-length debut, blends NY backbeats and jaded vocals with woolly West Coast harmonies and mellow vibes..." Rolling Stone - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his shaggy quartet conjure classic West Coast folk rock like they were baptized by David Crosby and reared by the members of Love."

哀愁のアメリカーナを奏でる5人組(そのうち4名が日系アメリカ人)、チーフのデビュー作。ビーチ・ボーイズやザ・バンド、ニール・ヤングへの憧れを忍ばせながら、若さゆえの葛藤や希望を鮮明に描いていく。フリート・フォクシーズを引き合いに出されることも多いようだが、彼らよりずっと泥臭くて、ストレートにロックしている印象。そんな人間味溢れるサウンドだからこそ、妙に親近感を持ってしまうのだろう。
