totally worth the listen
author: Luke Jensen (Never News)
Between electro, pop, folk, synth-laden melodies, hip-hop, and whatever the hell else might be on here, they cover their grounds. The songs' variety is huged and you can expect something new from every track. Strange, bizarre, tongue-in-cheek weird, this album manages to become a wild journey of time between this duo. Simple funny lyrics and drum-machine driven songs keep this album irreverent and clever. Totally worth the listen.

I am incapable of short versions.

ugh. keep it short?!?
Ok. I once considered conceiving a child WITH (not to, that's silly) the tenth track on this album.
Trike isn't like anything else. This album isn't Indie-Pop catchy (with the exception of the bonus track Stuart Derdyn), nor is it electro - something intoxicating (although that tenth track is nothing short of intoxicating...wouldn't necessarily make a good father though!). And if, like so many others and despite what you may claim on your myspace, you only REALLY want to listen to indie-pop, you'll be missing out!
This album is a gem. Every song in it is a gem, even though i don't like one or two (no more than one or two!). I'm not particularly partial to emeralds, so that doesn't mean they're not gems..
But seriously folks. The fellows who wrote these songs are extremely talented. If you buy this album (which you very well should!) you will recieve, among other things, a very polished mix of exciting song that'll make your hips go pow pow, introspective songs that will make you fell like a million dollar hobo (track # I Don't Care Anymore, specifically), emotionally draining songs that will make you want to conceive children, and so on and so on. It's really that good. Plus the opening track is the most effectively awesome opening track for any album i've heard in a long while.
Love,
Jessy

keeps us dancing in the dumps

You get the glitchy, synthesized drum machinery and body popping bass beats (plus some harpsichord and cheeseball early Blancmange Korg settings) along with the sad guy's mordant-yet clever!-lyrics.
