Like the album artwork, you'll feel like you are with a bunch of hippies making music in the woods, but with electrical instruments and someone scored some sweet LSD from a barrel that Charles Manson buried in the ground in the 60's and your friend bought the map to it at some Grateful Dead show that they were only there to score even more acid.
If you have heard Free Kitten's previous albums, you would expect trashy noisey and catchy as hell pop, but here you get tripped out trashy noisey catchy as hell pop. This is one of the best new albums i have heard in awhile. Really can't compare it to anything else and can't stop listening to it. What is it like 2 bucks up there? Used? Get it.

In my personal excellent opinion, "Inherit" marks the very best phase of all phases in Free Kitten's long-lived minature discography since the early "Straight Up" Ep.

Honestly, I think the group certainly works most effectively as a trio - just Kim, Julie, and Yoshimi. All the other formats work, as a music duo or quartet, but there's a certain magic on this particular release we haven't heard before.

"Less is more" in this recipe: two primitive mistuned ambient guitars and a fantastic japanese drummer, which spews a goo-goo-goo creme brulee drunken butterfly cauldron of bitch's brew sound and distorted atmosphere. What I like best, is that the guitars are very free form and somewhat loose while the drums hold everything together basically, a puddle of sound floating in the glimmer.

Not a far cry different than their other albums "Nice Ass" or "Sentimental Education" - simply better unstructured mature sonic rock, well written and performed. A favorite selection for anybody who likes early Royal Trux via "Twin Infinitives" or "Cats and Dogs".

Definitely buy this album if you enjoy good music by female punk legendaries - hopefully there will be a follow up to this wonderful trip. These ladies keep getting better with each new album...

Also check out Thurston Moore's album "Trees Outside the Academy", which is also pretty amazing.

I LUV KITTENS!

Why do i love Kim Gordon so much? This is a great, trippy-sounding album. Great in the car.
