No one would mistake The Invisible Deck (Too Pure) for a sign of staid adulthood, but it's a definite spurt in The Rogers Sisters' development. Miyuki Furtado has abandoned his David Byrne yelp and found a more aggressive voice of his own, while Jennifer Rogers pushes past the bratty ripostes that have gotten her this far. She's womanly on the standout "Never Learn to Cry" and whispery on "You Undecided." The biggest transformation, however, is her guitar playing. Where Furtado's bass took the lead on previous outings, Rogers' discovery of distortion opens the door for a wider variety of textures and arrangements. With one less song than 2002's Purely Evil, The Invisible Deck is still 11 and a half minutes longer, thanks to fuzzed-out epics "Your Littlest World" and "Sooner or Later," which sound more like a cracked take on classic rock than a no-wave hangover. In that company, "The Clock," propelled by prominent bass, angsty vocals and wiry riffs, is something of a throwback. It might've been the showstopper in earlier days, but here it's just another trick of the trade.
