Once again, Bird Names makes my list. I do have to admit that this has a lot to do with the whole car CD player thing I was discussing earlier (it lives in the car with the VU CD), though that doesn't mean this isn't a great record...this might even be my favorite Bird Names album...it's at least in the Top 3 for sure (they have like 8 now I think)...(For a general, yet fairly vague, description of the band's sound and my feelings on it, please refer to last month's post).If Metabloism is Bird Names' beach spy record, then this one is like the soundtrack to a musical about mid 20th century coal miners who happen upon a Hansel and Gretal style candy-house and then have adventures involving break dancing skeletons in business suits and giants juggling children juggling swords...pop music too bizarre to comprehend, but certainly too rare to dismiss.
I guess other people just call it psychedelic pop; but I like my description much better. Pretty much everything they've ever done is fantastic, so go buy all their shit here.
