Three weeks ago I enlightened you with an entry regarding lo-fi outlier Dean Wells, or more specifically his musical alter-ego the Capstan Shafts. You took quite a shine to the 2007 album I shared, Environ Maiden, and voila, here's the followup. In that earlier piece I emphasized Wells affection for Guided By Voices/Robert Pollard's penchant for "leave 'em wanting more" ethos. Brevity is still a watchword on Fixation Protocols, but the overarching effect is less derivative of the Fading Captain. Sometimes that yields songs that are less than immediate, yet wholly rewarding on subsequent go-arounds. In short, expect the artful, just not necessarily the grandiose.
