5.0 out of 5 stars Big Bill's #5 of 2001, December 28, 2001

This is a mega-excellent CD chocked full of kick ..., warped, twisted, 2-3 minute long songs that are unbelievably catchy yet very freaky at the same time. It's very hard to pinpoint these guys. The closest match is maybe Snow Patrol, but way better (that's saying something considering Snow Patrol is one of the best albums of the year as well). The best track is the haunting #5 Art-Maker. Golden Cloak and Winter are great also as well as the last 2 numbers on the disc, Sound Again and Walking Thru the Lake. Despite great reviews, this CD hasn't recieved the notariety it deserves and I have no idea why. It makes no other "Best of 2001" list that I know of and doesn't recieve nearly the recognition as it peers (only 1 other review so far and ironically is another person from Cincy). Do yourself a favor and order it today. You will not be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars art makers really *are* strangulators, February 27, 2002

This review is from: Record in Red (Audio CD)

The album's simplicity belies a deeply psychotic streak in this Hoosier hoedown: talk of monsters speaking in the singer's voice ("telling me what to do"), artists as Green River Killers, etc. Tremendous, creepy stuff. Pretty simple execution (indie guitar, bass, drum rattle) but with nice parsley on the side: echo, keys, sha-la-las. For fanz of the Fall, the Church, the Clean, Mission of Burma...a lot of 80s angular guitar work and Halloween atmosphere.

5.0 out of 5 stars You all are missing out., September 26, 2001

This is a great CD of very inventive, ahead of the curve, psychadelic, progressive, dark, wierd music. However, all the songs range in 2-4 minutes and are very catchy. If you dig The Auteurs' After Murder Park, Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs, or The Shins' Oh! Inverted World, you will definitely love this disc. If you like Radiohead, Mercury Rev, Yo La Tengo, Built to Spill, Granddaddy, or any other of the art-rock big boys you will love this album. Marmoset has all the skills these bands do, they just do it in shorter songs. If you like the edgey pop rock like Pavement, The Boo Radleys, or Royal Trux, buy this record. If you like Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, get it. Never heard of any of these bands I mentioned? Get this album anyway.
