Clever seemingly juxtaposed song titles highlight 18th Dye’s “Amorine Queen.” When you name your tracks “Soft the Hard Way,” “Chinese Spoon” and “Text Is My Killer,” it’s hard to take the band seriously. Maybe that’s the point.
“Soft the Hard Way” has a distinctly local feel to it, but they are from Denmark, so that’s not it. But if you’re into the San Francisco scene, you’ll definitely find a lot about this track to like. Go ‘n’ Go is not about me after I’ve drunk a gallon, er, four litres, of apple juice. It has a Pixies feel to it, especially when that gal is singing.
“Amorines” starts slower and has strings — not like spaghetti squash but the good kind. Then later it has tambourine and picks up a little. It reminds me of The Amps, only with a dude singing. Sometimes a woman sings too though.
“Is” is fun but has swearing in it. I wonder if it’s funnier to swear in another language when you’re Danish. It sure is when you’re American.
