Editorial Reviews
Chris Weingarten, CMJ NEW MUSIC MONTHLY - OCT. 2004
Skates is cheeky and fun without any of Gold Chains exhausting irony or Peaches¹ grating schtick
Product Description
"Lord of the Rinks" defies description - but onyl by the truly unimaginative. By fusing Todd's crunchy beats and ambience with Melissa's smooth croon and quirky raps, "Lord of the Rinks" goes beyond easy categorization, frustrating the Genre Nazis and forcing people to argue with a lot of hyphens. ("It's lounge-hop-punk-illbient-industrial!" "No, it's hip-jazz-folk-funk-tronica!") Do something TRULY radical - listen and decide for yourself.

This review is from: Lord of the Rinks (Audio CD)
Skates are rad, cool, bizarre, get into your blood. Melissa Dungan's wild and intoxicating vocals are both incredibly unique and a thrill to actually listen to, which is a rare combination nowadays. And the electronics are complex, chunky, heavy, psychological. The song "Trapavoid" is like taking a red sugar pill on a first date with someone you've been totally obsessively and anonymously in love with since 8th grade. It's like - "Finally!" "Green Vans" is both flagrantly vacant and really personal, it'll remind you of shopping for shoes in the early nineties with your best friend, and maybe a visit to the food court in the mall on a rainy day. In short, count yourself lucky if you have the guts to pick up this album!
