notes

The Cucumbers make a fresh, heartful music full of wide-eyed purity, gentle chagrin, intense love, and restless wonderings. And that's just the first song...

Fronted by Deena Shoshkes and Jon Fried, The Cucumbers first roared to national recognition as part of the New Wave Hoboken Scene. After a limelight bask in the media, with MTV and HBO traffic as well as alt radio hits and national touring, Jon and Deena left the business to raise and tend a family.

With rock-solid bass player Kurt Wrobel and the mysterious EdNo on drums grounding their jouncy pop flourishes, The Cucumbers are back with "Total Vegetility," on Home Office Records (of course). Winning praise from Jon Pareles of The New York Times ("Power pop with a light touch and endearing quirks survives in The Cucumbers") and from The Village Voice ("Total Vegetility is a fertile garden of smart psych-pop"), this CD is the most mature and questioning of the band's four full-length albums. Jangly and swampy, surfy and direct, and full of high-power pop intensity, The Cucumbers are a sweet cure for whatever ails ya.

Music for the People Dep't: The song "Charlie" from this album was the lead Featured Music Program selection on Napster in late November of 2000. Rock on with your bad selves!

    I was happy to see the Cucumbers still working when I stumbled upon this site... this is their latest album I DIDN'T have (didn't even know it existed)! Have been a fan since the first album and am happy to hear their sound still working! Gonna listen a few more times to get it as engrained as "My Boyfriend"! Mike Carlin DC Comics

  • Awesome

    Total Vegetility is a great addition to anyone's collection! The Cucumbers are as great in a live performance as their music suggests and if you're lucky you will catch them in a show. Their music is diverse, up-beat and even a bit quirky. Deffinately refreshing and worth owning!
