Mallory is a jones… you don’t realize the grungy, noise-soaked depth has so much melody until one gets stuck in your brain.  This is extra cool because all that noise stays there, forming a texture, like the rough weave of a canvas beneath an oil painting.  Over time it has a meaning: everything old is new to someone.  The evocative drones and riffs-that-won’t-die don’t get boring because there’s so much underneath.  But hey, don’t take my word for it: Indie music site Adequacy.net channels their debut, The First One Hundred Years in this piece.  It got some love at Aural Innovations as well, before going on to win the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards Album of the Year for 2003.
