Album Review
Your Imaginary Friend
Reviewed 2006-10-26
Female vocal fronted noise pop, urgent, melodic, pensive, low-fi in all the right places. For fans of Magneta Lane, Helium, Rogers Sisters, Charles Brown Superstar, Yo La Tengo, Devics. Most songs brief, radio friendly. Great stuff, some of which delves into a psyche flare a la Gris Gris. Also check out their previous release a few years back.

1) epic, melodic vocal line
2) more urgent, driving feel
3) jangly 60’s Indian psyche flare, slowly phrased
4) surf back beat to the drums, slow phrasing and simple guitars really work well
5) trippy sci-fi synth, effects laden near experimental digression 6) low fi acoustic guitar/tambourine and vocs, psychey trippy in the realm of the Gris Gris
7) plod rock beat, reverb on vocs is psychey
8) driving simple rock, title track, its worthy
9) 2/4 upbeat near cow-punk feel, strange vocs effect
10) rockin poundin instrumental, feels like an intro without a song
11) pretty waltzy feel, melodic, feels like an old standard, pub song, like Anne Magnusun/Bongwater
