Genera: Indy/Pop/Baby Music

I thought that this cover looked kinda cool. I could tell this would be very interesting Indy type music just from this cover. I mean come on, panda bears and ghosts thinking about heart ache?!
The Music: Not too bad Chow Chow. The album opens up with a nice, relaxing mandolin / ukuele sounding little riff. It is like I am a child again. This shit ran through my head as a kid like crazy. At any rate it has a nice sound to it. Catchy little riffs, and it fits into this whole "Lets use strange instruments to make goofy but easy noises" music. Lots of bells, synth, fuzzy stuff. If that is up your alley, you will love this.
I didn't think I was going to get any lyrics until song 4 came along, and again it sounds like I am back in the 3rd grade. Shit makes you feel happy if you can muster it. I wouldn't blast this stuff from my car, not even the emo chicks in Portland would think I was cool (Being cool is very important BTW). However, I can put on my earphones and work to it nicely.
Some of my dude friends would beat me up for listening to this. Chicks would think I am cool, or "artsy"
Complexity: Well, they are not ripping out crazy scales or anything, but they layer their music very nicely.
Quality: Great sound, well balanced. You can tell they took their time making this album. Maybe they didn't take their time, and they just kick ass in the studio. Who knows..
My favs: Summer Song, No New Ground Broken, And Finally
Not favs: Flute Uke, Springtime
Rating: 3.5/5
