Snow Machine – Review

February 23, 2005

Touching, simple, piano and guitar-based songs. Some of the piano reminds of Bruce Hornsby. Katharine sounds nice, buy her a flower so she’ll smile.

Polysics – Polysics or Die – Review

February 23, 2005

I thought the cover said “Poli-Sci or Die!,” which is pretty funny. This band is a lot of fun. A Japanese pop punk band who loves (and dresses like) Devo.

Mary Timony – Ex Hex – Review

February 23, 2005

Less cutesy/dreamy than I recall, but I haven’t paid attention for the last couple cuz they were on Matador, and people line up to gush about their releases.

Mando Diao – Hurricane Bar – Review

February 23, 2005

Swedish garage pop, catchy without being formulaic. Fans of Soundtrack of Our Lives and the Hellacopters who wanna expand into well-written pop will dig it.
