Lovely
length of album 35:25

Fourteen pop songs in 31 minutes. Fast, chirpy girl lead vocals, harmonies, quick riffs, nice washes of guitar accompaniment, occasional piano or strings. Clichéd and excellent.

A more exact description: like the Darling Buds sped up to Senseless Things tempo and energy levels, or like the Go-Go's being produced by Phil Spector and then having the master-tapes mistakenly soaked in erratic slabs of echo. "Carry Me Home" and "Through The Flowers" have the understated melodies and waves of noise of early Jesus and Mary Chain, though even "Carry...", the one chance for a rather William-Reid-sounding guy to sing, has none of the lethargy and chain-smoking that makes Reid's JMC vocals such a drag. In mid side 2, "Ocean Blue" and the two songs after it are slow and try for an Echo-and-the-Bunnymen feel, with "Buzz Buzz Buzz" (grimy quadruple-speed rockabilly) compensating afterwards. The atypically droney "Shadow" is a ridiculous tabla-sitar-cellodrama-ultramega phasing/flangeing show, and probably my favorite thing here. The lyrics have lots of "Sha na na na na"s and "Bop, bop, ba da"s and don't seem much more enlightening otherwise, but who cares? Actually, given how poor Tracey's enunciation sometimes is, the 2nd verse of each song may in fact add up to a coherent 14-paragraph analysis of the false discovery of cold-fusion power at Utah State University and how that failed experiment actually contains heretofore overlooked clues that could guarantee humankind free, eco-friendly electricity forever, saving trillions of dollars and billions of acres and lives. Again, who cares? That's not what I listen to this for.
