Album Review

Reviewed 2011-11-30
Fourth release from Oregon based three-piece of guitar, bass, drums playing indie pop rock, surf, r’n’r. Great catchy stuff with some fun, weird, clever, interesting lyrics. Sounds like Louie XIV, Electric Six. No FCC’s.

*My Favorites*: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 15.

1. *(3:55) Mid. Upbeat, big bass, pounding drums, catchy, driving, cool.
2. *(2:41) Fast. Rockin’ hyperspeed. Surf beat, all-out driver. Quick lyrics, backing vocals.
3. (2:17) Fast. Big crunchy guitar, backing vocals. Driving and rockin’.
4. *(3:28) Mid. Mellow start with guitar, bird effects. Sappy, slightly surf-ish - the song title is ‘Capitola’. Nerdy cool.
5. (2:48) Mid. Bass solos, crunchy guitar, echoey vocals.
6. (3:02) Mid. Guitar-led. Rockin’ song about the band, America and Tokyo. Pretty funny.
7. *(2:47) Mid. INSTRUMENTAL. Bass, guitar interplay. Film noir, ominous. Hip.
8. *(3:33) Mid. Heavy drum, big sound, funny, schlock lyrics. Guitar solo, backing voices. Cool.
9. (1:30) Mid. Sorry about spelling your name wrong? What? Weird, funny, nonsensical stuff.
10. *(3:00) Mid. Almost a metal sound with cowbell, kinda Louie XIV sound. Big chant with backing vocals, cool stuff.
11. (2:33) Mid. Guitar intro. Plodding beat, big sound, surf rock.
12. (1:10) Mid. Trippy effects, kind of a back-masking of sorts, acoustic guitar. Cool, weird.
13. *(2:49) Fast, Big bass, loud vocals, driving, rockin’! Backing vocals.
14. *(3:27) Mid. Big surf sound. pounding beat, backing vocals, funky, cool. Gets a bit Eastern European sounding near end.
15. *(3:49) Mid. Has that (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction beat throughout. Horn intro, cello, handclaps, acoustic guitar, gets kinda rockin’.
