Product Description
21-year old Mica Levi, a.k.a. Micachu, presents "an ear-bashing of crazy paving beats, junk shop punk, electronic drones, and deceptively mellifluous bedsit pop" - The Times. Equally at home making brilliant leftfield pop as she is composing for orchestras and making mix tapes that mash up dub step, grime, garage, and pop, it comes as no surprise that Micachu's debut is the aural equivalent of a chameleon: a multi-colored, multi-layered conflation of ground breaking sounds and ideas.

Format:Audio CD
Part electro-pop, part indie rock, part hip-hop and part Tom Waits is the best description I can think of. What a unique sound from the UK, and the woman is a classical composition student! "Golden Phone" is my new favorite song, but there are plenty of great tracks here to go around. Most are on the short side, my only complaint. This is 3-person group, but you wouldn't know that listening to this CD, as there are so many layers and sounds. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes ugly, and sometimes slammin with a hot beat, this one bears repeat listening to uncover all the subtleties (and understand the lyrics through Mica's thick accent!). Like Fiery Furnaces, the singer's vocal talent isn't the focus, and some might not be able to get past it. Check it out, you'll be one of their early fans when they make it big!

I was flipping through stations and heard a snipet of Micachu's 'Eat Your Heart' song #4 from her new cd Jewellery...looked her up and bought the cd on lark and...SCORE!!! This little lady is creative as hell and really reminds me of a younger Beck...from his earlier days. Sure, she attends a prestigious music school and has Bjork as one her fans but these damn quirky songs have a weird way of getting into your head and staying there. The experimental industrial background sounds, goofy and irrelevant lyrics and solid beats all combine to create music well suited to a soundtrack from some future sci-fi flick?! Only complaint is some of the songs and sweet beats are a bit brief...Micachu, you tease me!

I bought this a while back and I loved it. Definitely a little weird and the vocals are different. I just wish the CD was a bit longer!

Bright Neurotic Colors!
It's odd but heartening that an album like this can still find support, other than through self-publishing on the internets. Read more

Youthful Punk-toned Electronica
Micachu extracts the positive energy of punk and combines it with a dynamic electronic element. The songs have a tendency to get stuck in my head for days, though, so I'm careful... Read more

Incredible
I found out about Micachu and the Shapes quite by accident, having gone to a Chairlift show in Chicago where they were an opening act. Read more
