This album is fucking awesome. If you like female-fronted semi-punk bands, this is the way to go. The songs are all short and leave you wanting more. The recording is a little raw, which makes perfect sense for this act. They are amazing here. “Buzz Buzz” starts off and knocks you down, and then all of a sudden it is “Afternoon,” which has great whistling and male backing vocals. And then there is “Hokay,” which is what Elida would always tell me when we worked together at Arby’s. She’d also call me “Jose.”
“Earthquakes” has that mid-’90s up-and-down feel, although I admit that the vocals sound as if they belong on another song. Maybe it’s like that milk in the glass bottle at Whole Foods with a yellow lid. Maybe I need just a wee bit of pasteurization in my music.
“True Story” is short enough (49 seconds) that it might be one. It’s fun. So is “Talk Shit, Get Hit.” The songs are all really short. So is this review.
