Lighthearted, sardonic Bush-bashing indie rock. Davey Wrathgabar and his friends in the Georgia-based Elephant 6 collective slapped this album together in July 2004 and released it a month later. Voice can be grating or endearing (your choice) in its baby-talk delivery, like TMBG. Wrathgabar was in Fable Factory and also previously released a non-political LP by The Visitations. Guests on this album include members of Of Montreal and Circulatory System. Well-chosen Bush spoken samples, a fairly wide range of musical styles, and very competent playing and production make this a great little record for election season 2004. FCC: 6. Start with 2, 5, 8, 11. 1. starts with George Bush spoken sample. Bass comes in, then drums, for an indie-dance beat. About disaffection with the media and politics. ==> 2. Hand claps and a silly funk groove. “Shock and awe democracy – questionable intelligence.” 3. Mid-fast. Simple drums, bass, and acoustic guitar. An ode to apathy. 4. Fun with GWB samples. Short. ==> 5. Mid-slow. Poignant folk rock about humvees and oil. 6. FCC: Fuck, shit. Just guitar and voice. About empty patriotism. 7. Quick shuffle. One step beyond promoting apathy… promotes self-euthanasia. Silly but danceable. ==> 8. Mid-slow, ‘60s-feel, swaying folk rock with whistling and sound effects. In praise of hate radio. 9. Mid-fast, syncopated beat with odd percussion. About Wall Street corruption. FCC? Suggestive of anal sex, but those who might be offended probably aren’t perceptive enough to get it. 10. Mid-slow ballad -- arpeggio guitar plus voice about Jesus and the fucked up state of the world. ==> 11. Stand-out track. Great anti-Bush folk rock. Simple but powerful statement against Republican fear mongering. | ||
