The Sugarcubes1 latest
leans toward cuteness
By Scott Harr ah
Staff Reporter
The Sugarcubes, “HERE TO
DAY, TOMORROW, NEXT
WEEK!”
(Elektra): The Sugarcubes, an ob
scure oddity from Iceland, achieved
semi-superstardom last year with
“Life’s Too Good,” possibly one of
the most original efforts of the late
1980s.
. Every track on “Life’s Too
Good” had a mystique and centered
on a twisted topic - from the eerie
surrealism of “Birthday,” a song
about child molestation, to “Mo
torcrash,” about a girl’s perverse
fascination with traffic accidents.
On The Sugarcubes’ second ef
fort, however, much of the band’s
trademark mystique is still intact, but
none of the songs have the bracing
venom and perversity of * Life’s Too
Good.”
Elfin lead vocalist Bjork still
wails, shrieks and screeches, giving
each track a nervous, spasmodic en
ergy, but somehow “Here Today,
Tomorrow, Next Week!” comes off
sounding sweet and bouncy in areas
where it should sound biller and pa
gan. ‘‘Life’s Too Good” had a mar
velous, dark tension in each song,
beautifully complemented by
Bjork’s vocal eruptions - while the
‘Cubes’ second waxing seems so ...
cute.
‘‘Here Today, Tomorrow, Next
Week!” is a brighter work. The band
apparently wants listeners to dance
instead of recoiling in horror.
i nc Dana experiments with acid
house on the LP’s first-released
single, “Regina,” and throws in a
hom section on other songs. What
saves the album from sheer
bounciness is the band’s gift for off
the-wall, nonsense lyrics - like those
of “Eat the Menu”: The Waiter
Came With the Menu and Said, * Here
You Go’/I said, Thank You But the
Choice is Too Great, Why Can ’ 11 Just
Be a Cod in the Depths of the Ocean
and Just Eat Small Fish?’/ . . . Oh,
You Vague Customer.
On “Eat the Menu,” band mem
ber Einar impersonates the Lucky
Charms cereal cartoon leprechaun,
while on “ Bee’ ’ everyone is in search
of a sting. Everything about these
songs is wonderfully off center, but
they lack the dark vision of songs like
“Deus” on the first album. Even a
track as apocalyptically titled as “A
Day Called Zero’’ misses that pon
derous sense of doom that won the
‘Cubes an international following.
However, there’s nothing wrong
with any band that wants to play
musical chairs with its genre and
style - and “Here Today, Tomor
row, Next Week! ’’ does both without
sacrificing the Cubes’ integrity.

T racy C hapman, “Crossroads’ ’
(Elektra): Music critics have been
quick to chide Chapman for straying
from the almost stilted social con
sciousness of her 1988 debut LP.
While last year Chapman was talkin’
‘bout a revolution, this time she’s just
talkin' ‘bout herself. “I’m trying to
protect what I keep inside,” she sings
on “Crossroads,” the title track and
the LP’s opener.
But Chapman’s newfound intro
spection is less egotistical than re
freshing. Surprisingly, Chapman
sings a few generic love ballads here
-- “Be Careful of My Heart” and
“All That You Have Is Your Soul,”
both punctuated by her mellifluous
voice and acoustic guitar strum
mings.
However, there arc remnants of
her debut, which was so chock full of
mock socially responsible protest
songs that it could have been written
ior a vn-i promo.
There’s the racial tension of
“Bom to Fight,” in which Chapman
sings that people arc trying to “make
me into a white man’s drone.”
“Subcily” is typical Chapman, a
whiny political plea full of rhetorical
pap like: “Won’t You Please Give
the Prcsidenl/My Honest Regards/
For Disregarding Me.”
It’s difficult to lend credence to
Chapman, 10,000 Maniacs and their
ilk because their Department of So
cial Services vision of rock is often
too heavy-handed to stomach. Like
10,000 Maniacs’ Natalie Merchant,
Tracy Chapman is at her best when
she’s NOT trying to save humanity.
On portions of “Crossroads,”
Chapman takes that advice well.
