THE SPINANES
Though they only released three albums, the Spinanes helped define -- and then transcended -- the sound of Pacific Northwestern indie rock in the '90s. The combination of guitarist Rebecca Gates' rich songwriting and sensual vocals with Scott Plouf's inventive drumming made for music that was equally direct and complex. Even on their early singles, the Spinanes' brash riffs and drums hinted at something more complicated, and their 1993 debut album Manos owed as much to folk, jazz, math rock and singer/songwriter traditions as it did to indie rock

It's not hard to hear why the Spinanes became the first band on an indie label to top CMJ's charts with their 1993 debut. Manos is so exposed, and so assured, that it couldn't help but strike a chord with listeners. Consisting of just Rebecca Gates' guitars and vocals and Scott Plouf's drumming, the Spinanes' debut is remarkably eloquent and complex. On its first two songs, the duo demonstrates a range that bands with bigger lineups would love to call their own: With its inviting acoustic strumming and the velvety warmth of Gates' voice, "Entire" immediately draws listeners into the Spinanes' world and sets them apart from the grunge masses. When they crank up the volume on the fiery "Noel, Jonah and Me," the contrast between the heavy riffs and drums and Gates' quiet confidence as she murmurs "did you give up punk for lent?" is far more sophisticated than the work of many of their contemporaries.The rest of Manos showcases Plouf and Gates' intuitive interplay, which often feels like a secret language the two of them created...Though the Spinanes took their sound in more polished directions later, Manos' inventiveness and intimacy makes it a special album not just within their body of work, but within '90s indie rock as a whole...(AllMusic)
