Reviewed 2009-04-19
“Indie rock”, with female vocals. Good and irreverent. A collection of unreleased/rare tracks from this Portland band. Mix of 90’s/Northwest tainted grungy indie rock with bouncy poppy rock. Strange in a way, but cool for sure.

1) smarmy rock with samples as “vocals”, foul mouthed dude with chorus of “we mess up the system”
2) cool rock with female vocals, bass melodies, 90’s feel but good
3) simple sexy beat, dirty girl singing about messed up world, money and taxes (is there an FCC?)
4) mellow indie rock sung in Spanish
5) mellow rock
6) sexy feel, a tad retro
7) a groovier dance remix version of #1, piano and funkiness
8) bouncy retro feel with tambourine and French vocals, retro frenchy pop
9) cool groovy rock, piano and swirling tones
