5 ...according to our Clinton on 28 December 2006.
Second favourtite album of the week is by Hymie's Basement. This
is Andrew Broder (Fog) and Jonathan Wolf (aka Why?). This
excellent record usurps any of their previous work. Its amazing. The first
songs starts off sounding a bit like The Strokes funnily enough but
then wanders into territories those guys could only dream of going. Its
insanely catchy mesmeric pop of the highest quality. The rest of the
album wanders an eccentric path. Mainly the vibe is of crazed off kilter
lo-fi yet tuneful pop. A bit of Hood says Fats, also the solo
work of Why? springs to mind and anyone who walks an unlikely path.
On Lex and highly recommended.
