Comment: this
4-track outing (clocking in at a 12-minute) is a dodge into the
discography of Portuguese imprint Cakes And Tapes Records from the
year of 2010 which still did reflect upon the influence of the
so-called New Weird movement and on the other side it goes even more
backward in time to such experimental psychedelic rock combos as
Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and
glittering sunshine pop and doo wop harmonies from the 60s. In the
first place, those occasionally loaded effervescent vocal appearances
and fast changes in mood and structure remind of Panda Bear and
Animal Collective and it is a blissful reverberation over the place
by the Seattle-based combo. Strumming guitars and shuffly drumming
are backed up by artsy electronics and woodwind instruments. And as
we would see 4-5 years later
Panda Bear Meets the Grim
Reaper was produced by Sonic Boom. In a word, it is a decent
issue which is very worth to be remembered even 9 years after the
release. It is for your own sake to enjoy a true example of beauty in
the middle of a vanity fair and chaos.
