Babe the Blue Ox + Drop Nineteens = Heavy Vegetable. Short, garbled, twisted math-rock tunes infused with a lot of passion & melody. Kind of a frustrating album at times -- they’ve got a good pop sense but they continually fuck you up with wild musical digressions and weird rhythm shifts. Still, I really like it. Typical good tracks: 2, 4 --> 5, 9 --> 10, 14, 17, 21 (says FUCK), 22, 28 (a relative epic at 6 mins. watch the slow fade-out at the end). Other cool tracks:
1 delicate beauty like Babe’s “Except”
6 more coherent & melodic, but still damn good
15 sparse surfy instrumental, sort of Archers of Loaf-like
16 mellower, more up-front melody
18 fast acoustic strum
19 slower & muddier
23 --> 27 nice “medley” of various stuff
