Meow Meow
Snow Gas Bones
Devil In The Woods
If the intro to ?Cracked,? the first song on Meow Meow?s new album, recalls Flaming Lips? ?Turn It On,? with its radio static and distortion, it?s no accident. Then, after that brief overture, they roll into a country groove. ?Sick Fixation? could be an outtake from a pop outfit like Fountains of Wayne. ?The Killing Kind? flip-flops
between toy piano and feedback barrage. This collection is a musical
potpourri with almost subconsciously subtle instrumental arrangements and, at
times, J Mascis-like guitar noise. Delicate vocal harmonies and loping rhythms
and synths bubbling up from some primordial pop music ooze create a combination
that sounds like a lot of other things, yet is a unique statement on its own,
much like the magazine the label also produces. Meow Meow= Flaming Lips + Lambchop
+ Wilco - Stakerized!
