Happy Moon is enchating, and somewhere between Meat Puppets II and Janis Joplin. It's amazing how they conjure sounds that span sixties psychedelia to country, folk and blues to alt-rock John Trudell with Sonic Youth a la mode. Actually the music is more organized than that, which says a lot considering how complex some of the rhythms are, which the production job compresses superbly. This CD is rich with music - guitar fills galore by axe-master 'Minnesota Strats' - lots of impressive, almost bluegrass drum snaps by Tristan 'Destroyer' Destry, with Vocalist Gina Venturini carrying us to the blue empyrean with her everlasting trill, intoxicating like the future-retronsonic wine of her namesake. The songs Happy Moon, Broken Heart Parade, and Back to You are sublimly executed and  airplay-ready. In fact, almost every number fits that perfect 3-5 minute pop song paradigm, but in those spaces magages to explore the subleties of exotic influences, emotive expression and soul. Goes well with the Native American-inspired soundtrack 'Smoke Signals.' THIS CD SOARS!
