What the label says:

The Mojomatics heap together hillbilly blues, old country, folk and bluegrass, inject it with the melody of British Invasion pop and fire it all out with the breakneck energy of the best garage/punk/rock n' roll. The duo's playing is still tight and electric and sounds like there's five of them, not just two! The Mojomatics take all of these well-tread musical elements and somehow make them sound as fresh, current and exciting as any new thing the hipster pundits are selling these days. Song after song on this album is catchier than the clap and guaranteed to get you smiling, dancing, and feeling totally great about life.RIYL: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The White Stripes, The Fuzztones, Detroit Cobras, The Hives. UK press by Rachel Silver (Silver PR) http://www.mojomatics.com http://www.myspace.com/themojomatics Discography: 2006 Songs For Faraway Lovers – cd album (Alien Snatch), 2005 A Sweet Mama Gonna Hoodo Me – cd album (Alien Snatch). Two tunes in and i'm hooked. They could almost rival THE REIGNING SOUND in songwriting brillance. Injecting some infectious '60s whiteboy R' n ' B such as THE PRETTY THINGS, with the tambourine folk of, let's say, MOUSE AND THE TRAPS, with some raucous Delta blues an Atlantic soul. Christ, these boys can write them, play them, and sing them---retro without being, um, retro, folk without being cheesy, and soul without being another one of those soul/punk outfits. All brought together by their understanding of how to write a simple but great pop tune. Damn best record I've heard in a long long time! MAXIMUM ROCK N ROLL (USA) MARCH 2007. Tracks : 1. Wait A While 2. Miss Me When I’m Gone 3. Clean My Sins 4. Askin’ For A Better Circumstance 5. You Are Not Me (Fortunately) 6. Complicate My Life 7. Stars Above 8. She Loves 9. Losin’ Time 10. Down My Spine 11. Hole In My Heart 12. Winter Got No Eyes

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
