Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2012-01-19
Originally a cassette release (in fact the songs were timed to fit on each side of a C-30). “Synth punk”, fuzzed out simple pitch changed bassy synth and trashy drums and desperate male/female vocs remind me of Red Aunts, early Glass Candy maybe. Reminds me also of No New Wave early NYC No Wave greats, DNA, Mars. Recent Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling and even a dash of The Kills. Great stuff. Meow alert.

1) (1:31) urgent and skippy beat with snarling synth bass
2) (1:42) garagey surfy sloppy beat fun
3) (1:42)) strange offbeat difficult beat
4) (2:07) driving bassline driven, simple pounding beat
5) (2:00) driving and halting reminds me of Red Aunts
6) (2:50) a near noise onslaught with tribal drums, killer
7) (1:29) slight surf garage shoo bop beat
8) (1:55) the “synthiest” of the bunch, urgent and melodic and pretty fun if that’s what you want
9) (1:25) cool rim-shot percussion, halting beat turns surfy in chorus
10) (2:07) total tom tom tribal beat, desperate female vocals, picks up and is more complex, melodic than most in a way, meow
