3.0 out of 5 stars
An overlooked slab of prime, home-cooked independent rock, October 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Let's Pet (Audio CD)
The fact that this Wharton Tiers-mixed release is not widely known is hardly the fault of the music. Anyone who has heard the remarkable, hypnotic and evocative "Trip" is likely willing to shell out for this record without further ado. The challenge is then FINDING a copy, which thanks to the inscrutable distribution philosophy of Caroline and its subsidiary labels is no easy feat. At least Amazon seem to be up to the task! Although none of the songs on this album surpass "Trip", there are a number of strikingly-textured winners, and this Ohio-based duo -Alex and Manish- show considerable range and ingenuity as songwriter cum multi-instrumentalist, and guitarist, respectively. The band sounds very "young" on this rough-edged debut, especially as concerns vocals, but just as this album shows a good deal of promise, it is also enjoyable in its own right, and improves with every listen.
