Comment: The American duo The Crayons made their first appearance with the album Raised by BestFriends (2009) on the Rack & Ruin label. However, now the duo is an artist under the Japanese label Totokoko showcasing their solid abilities to write catchy electro-backed rock tunes, for instance, Finding a Black Hole is a mesmerizing track which should have been stuck by the whole indie pop blogosphere. Through the tracks like Mr Bug, and Summer Camp With The Crayons they made a big bow toward the mister R Stevie Moore. The ending part of the album is reserved for a heavily effect-loaded remix (helped by ADK) and in live made cover (of Sam & Valley`s track) respectively.
