Description:
Available on LP. The debut from this LA-based group is a tour-de-force of gorgeous folk-pop melody and uplifting sentiment. Produced by Tom Monahan (Pernice Brothers, Devendra Banhart, Brightblack Morning Light), and featuring the incomparable soprano voice of Becky Stark, the album includes twelve new songs and original artwork by drummer and noted artist/cartoonist Ron Rege. The band`s slightly tongue-in-cheek demands for world peace and harmony are subtly undercut by minor key modes and absurdist lyrics. The result is deeply entertaining and subversive. (Matador Records)
