Quinn W. Shagbark's newest and most ambitious collection opens with the line, "I've been experimenting/ with life in a bucket/ critters politics insecticides/ pills and disappointments," and it spirals outward from there.
This is twisted, home-spun pop music where nothing sounds quite like it should and nothing happens according to plan. The characters who inhabit Shagbark's universe break up on Dead Tour, argue about stolen cars, watch movies without names, and (more than anything) try to figure out what the hell is going on, all to the tune of off-kilter pop orchestrations that are akin to what the Beatles might have sounded like if they weren't such a good band and instead became plummers.
The texture is quite different from the older, more spare productions Shagbark has released on the "HomeGrownNoodles" label over the past 5 years, but the addition of new noises hasn't detracted from the unique sensibility and shaky voice which have always been at the core of his music.
