Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2002-08-22
Good basic rock, mix of Nick Cave smarmy dark twang with bluesy Stones/Stooges psyche basic rock. Guit bass drums mostly with some organ, male vocs. Same school as Spiritualized, Chrome Cranks, Galaxie 500 tripsters.

1) Nick Cave dark rockin jazzy swingy w/ twang
2) basic rock a la Stones, Stooges
3) total Stooges psyche garage rock, slow tom tom beat w/ organ and epic breaks and driving psyche ending
4) dark twangy triplet ride cymbal beat feel, total Crime and City Soln/early nick Cave rip, have these guys no shame?
5) loud garage punk psyche gearhead rock, one juicy FUCK near end
6) swingy bluesy western rock
7) slow bluesy drippy reverb twangy
8) slow dark dissonant trippy, the best song so far
