Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2010-11-02
These guys used to be balls-out crazed rockers so with that in mind you can detect an underlying element of that to this, though its decidedly more straightforward rock with a very strange undercurrent, like they are poking fun at everything without letting on (unless you actually listen to the lyrics). What a bunch of weird dudes. Guitars, bass and drums with an occasional saxophone to screw everything up. For fans of things like Zappa, Guaranteed Katch, Dick Panthers, Butthole Surfers, Bunnybrains, King Missile, Scratch Acid, Killdozer, MX-80 Sound.

1) smarmy rock with a 70’s damaged feel
2) more of a playful feel, bouncy retro flair, cool
3) slower head nodding heavy
4) FCCs
5) faux drama, heaviness, silly
6) lots of changes, like a drunken post-rock song, but the lyrics are hilarious
7) waltzing with sax “lost in a fog”
8) acoustic guitar, 70’s love rock silliness
9) sax appears in bizarre head nodding beat and twisted bridges/choruses and changes
10) high pitched element as a wash over upbeat rock
11) slow mindful swing, heavy tone
12) upbeat but not driving, swingy rock
