Shortwave radio squeals. Beatles-esque tape loops, and healthy doses of analog tape twiddling all underscore the pure-sugar pop tones of "Snow Gas Bones". Meow Meow offers up their debut album, a literate blend of fuzzed out/revved-up guitar anthems and beautifully understated/stoned soundscapes. Meow Meow began as a studio project between Kirk Hellie and Christopher O'Brien in 1998. Shortly after the end of their respective bands (Pink Noise Test and Brian Jones Was Murdered), the prolific writing team amassed a large collection of tunes in Kirk's home studio. "Snow Gas Bones" is fueled by a penchant for pop melodies and art-damaged-ground sound - sonics. Meow Meow exists somewhere between Brill Building tradition and grandpa's pre-war 78 rpms played with a broken stylus.
Thanks for reviewing this album! You should see it show up on the album page in a few days.
I heard about the CD from a friend and was intrigued by some of the sounds I heard, once I got the CD I became absolutely addicted to the music. Nothing like the radio redundancy of today's pop hits - refreshing just doesn't quite say enough! I encourage anyone who's a true music lover to try this CD! Read more...
