Product Description
LA punk's secret weapon bring forth a sound that's tempting and beautiful, yet melodic and tropical. "Skeleton" is a twisted joy ride through four boys' private party. Soothing parts reminiscent of Captain Beefheart and My Bloody Valentine, or some punk with a haunting reggaeton pulse that makes you move.

| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Post-everything rock of the highest order, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Skeleton (Audio CD) I'm reminded of the Minutemen, the Embarrassment, the Fall, Arkansaw Man, the Slits, Firehose, the Nightingales UK, the wild tribes of Borneo -- Abe Vigoda actually can also sound like Vampire Weekend on a heavy dose of STP, feedback and surly attitude. (Hence the awesome live double-bill referenced above.) My guess is that Abe Vigoda has only heard marginally of any of the above bands but came up with this fabulous piece of work completely on their own. I call this kind of thing the future! 1 of 3 people found the following review helpful  Smells like A Beautiful Fish!, By Buzz Advert "Buzz Advert" (Milwaukee) - See all my reviews This review is from: Skeleton (Audio CD) Very glad I happened upon this band. It actually came up on my Vivian Girls (a garage-y, girl punk band) Pandora station, luckily. I found the album to be immediately great and I feel rather ecstatic every time I listen to it, which makes me think that I might be over-reacting; I can't say how long that feeling will last--in other words, will this album sound equally good after 100 listens and two years? Don't know. But so far so good.I love the mid-fi production with the voice buried deep in the mix, making it more of one of many sounds. The lyrics are mostly indecipherable and the singer could be Japanese for all I know (I know he's not). The mix and production is less like '90s low-fi (Guided by Voices; Sentridoh) and more like early REM (Murmur or Reckoning). It sounds like it was recorded in a room with what some would call bad acoustics--resonant to the point of echoing, for example; don't let this scare you: it sounds great! The band sounds unlike any other...

The most accurate way to describe this band's music is cacophany, none of the sounds they generate are distinguishable from any other.While there performance was very earnest, there is a substantial gap between their level of energy and their actual abilities. The talent fairy has limited resources, and these guys missed their allocation. |
