...Roberts is a rock-star sophisticate. At home in Montreal, he often listens to classical music. (He has played violin since he was 4.) He looks good on the cover of men's magazines, even with his trademark scruffy hair and beard. And the Juno-winning singer-songwriter, whose last album, We Were Born in a Flame, went platinum in Canada, talks intelligently about his music's purpose. He tries to capture "human ideas and human failings," he says--and casually uses words like "destitute" when talking about his themes. "I love albums," he says, because he feels they represent...
...Bridge to Nowhere, the album's best bet for a big hit, explores the lives of the directionless and dissatisfied.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah.” After all, if you could make a bunch of cops ravenously chase a pastry-bedecked socialite, would you do it? (Yeah yeah yeah). Presiding over the madness is singer Wayne Coyne, sporting an appropriately megalomaniacal fur coat and hat and tauntingly waving hamburgers under the noses of his soon-to-be captors. He is dragged into the girls’ underground room and departs stapled with raw meat, a werewolf on his scent. The creature takes the meat...
...singles “Maps” and “Y Control,” the album was deservedly showered with critical praise and even nominated for a Grammy. The record—bass-free, fuzzy, immediate in its sound and pounding groove, and high on sexy singer Karen O’s siren call—was a huge indie-dancefloor...
