The Aluminum Group's third album moves far afield from the neo-Bacharachisms of 1995's WONDER BOY and the Magnetic Fields influences of 1997's PLANO. The Jim Webb-like multi-part nine-minute opening track, "Rrose Selavy's Valise," is the most experimental of the album's 10 songs, yet the lush soft-pop melodies and smooth vocals of brothers Frank and John Navin remain its focal point. While the rest of the album retains the Navins' trademark early '70s soft rock influences, the proceedings are considerably more complex, with unexpected left turns and weird sounds punctuating the arrangements and strange musical fragments popping up between the songs. PEDALS is somewhat more difficult to get a handle on than the band's smoother earlier albums, but it's ultimately much more satisfying.
