4.0 out of 5 stars Even better for fans of Built to Spill & Beat Happening, April 12, 2007

This review is from: God Don't Make No Junk (Audio CD)

I just heard about this band recently, so I don't know a whole lot about the Halo Benders.
Built to Spill and Beat Happening have been two bands I have enjoyed for a few years now. When I found out about The Halo Benders I just had to order a couple.
The combination of Calvin Johnson's(Beat Happening) voice along w/ Doug Martsch's(Built to Spill) vocals intrigued me to hear it for myself.
And it does work. Maybe sounds a little "out there" to some- but hey that's what I like.
Calvin Johnson has a really deep voice and Doug, well it's hard to describe his voice, but it's lighter(or shinier) with a lot more range and melody. Sometimes they use their styles together or separate, makes for an interesting listen. Singing in different pitches.
My favorite song is ("single"): "Don't Touch My Bikini"
Might sound a little challenging for listeners, if you're not familiar with these two bands(Built to Spill & Beat Happening).

- To me it's a joy!

I liked this CD. It is unique and takes a open or learned ear. It striks me as distinctly Indie, before Indie was made into what it is now. If you appreciate bands like Modest Mouse, Braid, or Built to Spill, you'll probably like This CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Okay, alright!, June 3, 2000

This review is from: God Don't Make No Junk (Audio CD)

this is the perfect cd to listen to in june, with your shirt off, after a few beers, while cutting your cool indie rock friends hair and talking about how you have no money for toppings on the pizza. sound gross? yeah, it is. a great wispy pop cd that is hummable and amiable and will make you smile and want to start a band called the Malo Henders.
