This album has a lot of wonderful moments, mostly in the latter half, but they are, unfortunately, all too often shrouded by freewheeling experimentalism, by liberal utilization of an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink sound aesthetic (think the Lilys or Olivia Tremor Control). Track #8 is my favorite, but it is an absolute dead ringer for Sonic Youth’s “Titanium Expose.” The influences are very easy to identify here, but I don’t think that it is necessarily a bad thing. The vocals are sweet, the random sound bytes of dialogue are surprisingly effective and amusing, and didn’t annoy me, as they often do on records. This is just a nice little slice of noise pop, but not very memorable.
