Rosa Mota – Bionic – Review

October 1, 1996

One hot minute, it’s incantantory punk and Kate Pierson (or Cindy Wilson) the next, it’s string-mopped U.K. hee-hey with a sickly-sweet Pixie-sticky bassline.

Metal Molly – Surgery For Zebra – Review

October 1, 1996

They demand their inalienable right to levity and they pursue it with crazed creativity far beyond the bounds of decency.

Like Wow – Like Wow / Bliss Blood split – Review

October 1, 1996

Any 7″ that celebrates drinking is fine with us here in the office. Even better if the songs are sort of psychobilly. Well, drunk psychobilly.

Komeda – The Genius of… – Review

October 1, 1996

A retro-tinged pop sound that seems innocent enough, but is insidiously laced with a hypnotic undertow that Franz Mesmer would call “manipulative.”

Jazz Butcher – Draining The Glass – Review

October 1, 1996

Underground rock’s greatest shame is its perennial neglect of Britain’s Jazz Butcher, Patrick Fish, a remarkable songwriter who deserves a far better fate.

Incredible Force of Junior – Let the World Fall Apart – Review

October 1, 1996

Fuzzy indie pop jangly as a silver bracelet. In “Walrus,” the chick screeches like one of my aunts after too much chardonnay-in-a-box.

Hope Factory – “Drinking Song” / “Imaginary” – Review

October 1, 1996

This one’s a poppy, Cure-ish distorto-jangle rock thing. Fairly decent pop rock, but not much substance.

Engine 88 – Engine 88 / American Sensei split – Review

October 1, 1996

This 7″ is misleading. I was thinking of electric futuristic, Kraftwerk type music, not this bland, everyday radio fodder.

Emily’s Sassy Lime – Desperate, Scared, But Social – Review

October 1, 1996

They render the riot grrrl ethic to understatement. Cutesy garage that won’t offend anyone but sound engineers was never the point.

Eels – Beautiful Freak – Review

October 1, 1996

It kicks off with a suite of five pretty impressive songs. The stop-start rhythms and kitchen-sink arrangement of “Novocaine For the Soul” are entertaining.
