Album Notes

Ginger, Baby, the eclectic debut album by indie-rockers Father Bloopy on Dippy Records, has a classic sound that you'd swear you've heard before. The lead-off title track is so catchy that at first listen you find yourself singing along as if it is one of your longtime favorite songs. The only problem is that these are new songs, by a new band, comprised of a bunch of kids in their early twenties. Self-described diehards and collectors of early 60s and 70s art-rock, Father Bloopy's first album pays homage to a variety of obvious influences, including The Kinks, Lou Reed, and ELO, but they add a unique flair and a modern twist to the mix that is edgy and invigorating.

Clever as hell from start to finish, Ginger, Baby is filled with wry, witty lyrics that will please fans of smart-pop in addition to those who feast on catchy melodies and creative production.

“Houdaille's mix of swoon and croon finds him approximating an unlikely collision between Ray Davies and Devendra Banhart, a quirky combination that finds a surprisingly good fit with the densely textured mélange.” -Miami New Times

“Brightly catchy songs loaded with hooks, and pleasant surprises. A dozen tracks overflowing with dynamic pop power and good vibes.” -Dream Magazine

“One minute Roger Houdaille is Jonathan Richman jamming with Brian Eno on the title track, with similar Lou Reed talk-singing, the next he's Ray Davies doing wistful poptunes like "Pepper Tan" or "Miss Morality.” -The Big Takeover

Limited digipack edition.

Father Bloopy was such a big surprise, because I usually just assume anything that comes out of sobe is cheesy or some sort of techno/trance music. So when earlier this year I caught the live act on you tube searching for clips of my favorite TV show I became instant fan! I automatically searched for them on my space and was really excited when the album came out in September! This music creates a feeling of nostalgia it’s the music you wished played more often on the radio…yeah its really awesome. I’m so proud of sobe now! Also Father Bloopy’s front man is such a hottie!! And his voice is soooo cool! I really love this cd and really recommend it to everyone I meet! I can’t wait till I can break it down to “what’s kamila doing” on nights out!

What a great freaking album. This is the CD that Father Bloopy fans always knew was on the horizon. Singer/songwriter Roger Houdaille culled together the best songs of the many underground EPs the band had released over the last five years, cleaned some things up, and created a stellar collection that clearly represents what makes the band so exciting and addictive. The album's description is rather apropos. One has to think of Bloopy as a band stuck in 1971 or even 1967 creating the sound of the future, or vice versa. It is not hard to hear the Kinks or the Beatles. More like if weezer were cool still and was making college music still... But even that is an unfair assessment because there are things about the Bloopy approach that is totally unique and fresh and has nothing to do with any other artists. You hear it in the most subtle aspects of each song. The basics are good solid melodic songwriting -- listen to florida no fault. The voice is super catchy -- listen to the title cut. One of the coolest songs of all time. Hands down. There is also that element of indie, lofi, hipness that suffuses from the project, similar to classic Dinosaur Jr in their glory days... best experienced through listening to the song Hot Down. Not sure what to call that. You notice Roxy Music, but it's still something else. Creative as hell, right down to the song titles themselves... baby youre lame, who pulled the child support... whats kamila doing... there is a brash disregard for the status quo that has always been a part of the Bloopy appeal. But over and above that it still comes down to really creative songwriting, catchy songs, unexpected twists in teh production, and a cool voice that sounds familiar and yet different at the same time.
