Men

Fri, 08 Dec 2006 23:15:09 GMT

It's not altogether surprising that The History and Civilization of the Great Black Swamp's Men features a cover (track 4) of a Muppets tune: Men is a delightfully ramshackle and boisterous affair that sounds quite as though it could have been recorded with cardboard instruments by manic, floppy-arm....

January Have Others

Fri, 08 Dec 2006 23:14:29 GMT

Mike Huber's thrumming riffs and lackadaisical vocal style are indescribably compelling and instantly memorable. You'll find yourself tapping your toes, if not more substantial parts of your anatomy. Start with "Saturday," "Flaming Club," or the itch-scratchingly lovely "Lovely Day.".

Yes

Fri, 08 Dec 2006 23:14:23 GMT

Adjectives won't do. Yes is a chaotic, silly, slipshod, caterwauling, kooky, devious, frenetic, pulsating, fun album. Start with "My Invisible Head Brain" and see if you can stay seated -- or keep your mouth shut....

The Harvey Girls - The Harvey Girls [ia008]

Mon, 24 Jan 2005 21:54:57 GMT

On their debut imaginary album, The Harvey Girls weave sweetly delicate melodies into hauntingly evocative soundscapes, creating a seamless fusion of pop and sonic experimentation that is both as lovely and foreboding -- in a word, sublime -- as the sight of a watery, lemon-tea sun being swallowed b....

Santa Inferno - Desert Music [ia007]

Mon, 29 Nov 2004 22:35:23 GMT

From the opening exhortation of "Let me hear those drums, motherfucker!" Santa Inferno's sophomore release for Imaginary Albums unleashes an unrelenting torrent of teeth-achingly memorable melodies, ass-shakingly irresistable rhythms, and heart-palpitatingly wonderful weirdness....

C.J. Pizarro - Tits of America [ia005]

Wed, 28 Jul 2004 08:03:48 GMT

In the Half Japanese documentary, The Band That Would Be King, Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller lamented the fact that no music had been able to surprise him since he'd first heard Elvis as a child (though Half Japanese, he conceded, came close)....

Corpus Callosum - Uniquity [IA004]

Sat, 01 May 2004 21:03:35 GMT

Uniquity might be the soundtrack to a horror film about a man, bristling with EEG electrode pads, setting out into the murky underworld of his own unconscious to murder his multiple personalities. Or it could be the musicking of a child, fallen down into a well, playing contentedly with her Radio Sh....

Santa Inferno - Wonderland of Smut [IA003]

Thu, 08 Apr 2004 16:56:47 GMT

What's astounding about Santa Inferno's debut is that not only is every song unique, each one is a pop masterpiece. This is a band that refuses to take the road most traveled, but does not renounce harmony and melody for mere outlandishness....

C.J. Pizarro - Snow Crabs [IA002]

Thu, 08 Apr 2004 16:51:47 GMT

There are two legitimate stances that one can take in the face of a world that is cruel, stupid, and absurd: the Lachrymose and the Laughing. C.J. Pizarro's Snow Crabs is a risible, boisterous, and endlessly inventive avant hip-pop album that shamelessly adopts the latter....

Swain - The Single [IA001]

Wed, 07 Apr 2004 22:33:25 GMT

Matt Shimmer of Indieville was overheard saying that "For the most part, Swain is pretty successful with The Single! While these songs can become a bit tiresome (hey, there's twelve of them!), many electronica listeners will be able to find a lot to like in them! The only problem is the presence of ....

Laura Palmer - Still Life [IA000]

Wed, 07 Apr 2004 22:23:44 GMT

Still Life is an instrumental album that weaves together lugubrious melodies and otherworldly sound effects. Soft guitars parry with electronic mutterings like slumber with the alarm clock; tuneful bleats of distortion rouse the bric-a-brac beats from their reverie; wistful half-heard organs rise an....
