...according to our on 06 January 2007.

Whatever has been piped into K's water supply I went some of it they are releasing some darned odd stuff right now. The Blow give us an odd little 10". Sounds like Lois and Mirah duetting over old school K stuff with guitar by Tracey Thorn circa Distant Shore...but somehow more fractured. Could be described as kooky. But theres some acappella and spoken stuff as well which I like less. Bonus Album is 10" only

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The new release by the Blow: hors doeuvres sampler. Want to know whats in there? Weve listed the ingredients on little tags next to the dishes, so you know what youre putting on your plate: (songs 1 & 5): Solitary musings on the potential emotional connotations of commonplace life-science subjects. (songs 2,3,6,7,9): Imagine the playground, and the songs that youd make with some sticks and the sound of your voice bouncing off of the brick wall in the back. Not the fleshy jean-stretching numbers where the bikini clad girls do their jiggling, but the skinny- legged sounds from when bouncing meant something more like Chinese jumprope: music for the hops, from back before you had any hips. (song 4): A creamy version of a recipe stolen from Uncle Wolf Colonel. (song 8): The results of two feisty cooks teaming up in the kitchen and tossing a tender bossa nova song back and forth between them, until there was enough sound in it to feed the whole drunken marching band as they wobble in the street at the end of the parade. After all scuffles between the drumbeats and the juicy oohs had died down and the streets were cleared, the chefs (the Blows, Khaela Maricich, and the Microphones Phil Elvrum) found their aprons were so dirty, that instead of trying to wash them, they attached them to sticks and are saving them to carry as talismans in next years festival. "Some Chocolates" is a duet with Mirah.
