Dolour - "Suburbiac" @ Score! Music Magazine

	Dolour - Suburbiac
	Location	Seattle, WA
	Initial Impression	The CD packaging is really nice and sort of artsy. After reading some of the lyrics, I thought this would be another angst-filled, Heroin chic Grunge band out of Seattle.
Notable Lyric	"Whatever you do, whatever you say, I know I can't talk you into staying. Am I getting too old for fantasy?" - "Too Old For Fantasy"
Factoid	Dolour is a one-man show with revolving lineups. It is the brainchild of Shane Tutmarc.
Serve With	An open mind.
Comments	I didn't much care for the first song "Ménage À Trois", which started me skipping around from track to track to find something that I did like and I stumbled upon "A Billion Odd People". This poppy, up-tempo tune combines fun lyrics ala the Bare Naked Ladies with good old-fashioned Seattle cynicism. Eddie Vedder would be proud. However, there is more to this song than just your regular Seattle angst. The up-tempo music and self-deprecating lyrics give it a more down-to-earth feel with less suffering than your typical Pearl Jam jingle, a theme, which permeates the CD. This is Grunge-pop with a healthy dose of down-to-earth.
