Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2006-01-24
Ultra low-fi fuzzy/noisy living room indie rock. Cute simple songs, melodic, with simple drum machines, Casio type keys, out of tune guitars and off-key vocals. Like a low-fi Chris Knox/Tall Dwarfs (need I remind you that Knox is already “low-fi”?). Cool stuff, what college radio is for.

1) brief distorto Casio ditty
2) off-key pop
3) almost a snipped of a slower pop song
4) upbeat with hooky guitar melodies and interesting distant cardboard box percussion
5) surfy ride cymbal beat, cute feel with repeating use of the word “radio” in lyrics making it an obvious choice
6) darker synth feel like an early New Order song
7) simple Daniel Johnston guit w/ overdriven melodic vocs and a simple synth melody
8) another simple strummy guitar/synth vocal ditty
9) triplet beat casio drums, swingy midpaced simpleness, nice
