Big Orange Crayonmusical thingsStungun Shape of a Dream Twee Kitten Records Getting this cd in the mail came as a total suprise to me: it's the new relesase in the Twee Kitten CD Fun Club and I didn't even know that it was coming. cool. I like it, too. It has a bit of an old school pop feel combined with newer indie pop elements. A lot of things match that description, but Stungun do it a bit differently that other bands and have an earlier pop influence than, say the 60s pop influence of Wolfie. The songs are pretty much all fairly sad, or at least not very giddy. The vocals are, like a lot of Twee Kitten releases, shared between a boy and a girl, and the music itself is fairly synthy at parts, but not irritatingly so, and "Heart like Me" is one of a very few songs that I've heard use keyboard "strings" and not be annoying. It actually works pretty well. The highlights of the cd for me are the dreamy (understandably) title track and the part in "no notes" where the boy singer sings "no sound slow motion orchestral explosion" (to be overly specific). But yeah if you dig on melancholy pop music with a bit of a vintage feel to it, you'll want to get this cd. Besides its like $2.50, so really you might as well. Total score 142 out of 142 |
