Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The Moldy Peaches' Adam Green and Kimya Dawson are the scourge of shoe-gazer's everywhere: extrovert indie rock chameleons who channel their awkward social skills into a scatological satire that dwells on botulism, wannabe boyfriends, Internet porn and street drugs. Their wry debut album, Moldy Peaches, is so lo-fi it sounds like a genuine bedroom production (at one point you can even hear a telephone ringing in the background). The record absent-mindedly skips genres the way kids click TV channels, from fragile acoustic folk and savant hip-hop to amplified garage punk sing-a-longs and back again. Backed by a whisper of guitar, recorder and off-key backing vocals, "Nothing Came Out"--Kimya's confessional about an unrequited love--is almost touching--almost. Until she gets to the cutting punchline: "And besides, you're probably holding hands with some skinny, pretty girl that likes to talk about bands." There's the debased blues-rock stomp of "Downloading Porn with Davo", while "Steak for Chicken" is a calculatingly inept duet featuring two different sets of lyrics sung simultaneously. Full of outrageous throw-away lyrics (like Adam's "Who mistook the crap for genius/Who is going to stroke my penis") that demand repeat listens, the Moldy Peaches smell like a cult band in the making. --Chris Campion Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - On its own and all alone.This album is excellent and even lower than low-fi. More like ultra low-fi, which is the way I like it. One play its good, two plays very good and three plays excellent. So far this ais a sparse review but to end it I will say two things. Firstly when Beck was good he wrote like this. But this is more sing along. Secondly when I walk through White City in London (Which is a dump) I play this on my portable music machine and it makes me smile. What the heck, I said two final things. Well heres three, what other album has the lyric "Im just your average Thundercats Hoe" Rating: - Who's Got The Crack?!Quite simply - amazing. After about three plays of the album I had learnt lyrics off by heart and was screaming along with Kimya and Adam. 'Downloading Porn With Davo' is briliant. From the opening riffs you just have to dance along, and then you here the lyrics - 'paid a seven year old hooker to make out with me' is just a taster of the crude lyrics that continue throughout the song and they only add to the song's brilliance. 'Jorge Regula' is a tender offering from the Peaches and is perfect to sing along to with your mates. The stand-out track from this album, in my opinion, has to be 'Who's Got The Crack'. Don't be fooled by it's rather quiet opening, after a couple of verses - including the rather bizarre 'I am a goat/in ... Read More: Rating: - Wonderful lo-fiI had friends before I bought this album, now I have none. They all left after a few months of me running around place screaming 'I'm just your average Thundercats Ho' and 'We hate dance and we hate rap/but we like to contradict ourselves/that's a rap'. Actually, that's not true at all, but it wouldn't be a bad trade-off. The fact is, despite, or more likely because of, its terrible production values, this album is listenable, fun, funny and at times moving. From the heady beginnings of 'Lucky No.9' through the tragicomic 'Nothing Comes Out' and the wonderful bad-taste of 'Who's Got the Crack', Kimya and Dawson demonstrate that rarest of all things -- a willingness to try something new. The style of this album is characterised ... Read More: Rating:  - Difficult reviewThis is a very difficult album to review. The first time I listened to it I thought it was very raw and most of the people I played it to did not like it. However I am listening to the album now and I think there is something very special about it. I guess this is partly becuase I have since seen them live and they were excellent. I am not going to say definately buy this album, but I would recommend seeing them live, and i think if you do that you will want the album. Rating: - ...And if you thought the cd was great...The Moldy Peaches are a great band. Listen for yourself. And the amazing thing is they sound great live! They played with the Strokes in San Francisco and they did not play acoustic, as is on some of the songs on the cd. The opening track, "Lucky Number Nine" sounded great live, and electric. Their music is entertaining, and they dress up very strange--I love them. They played a song that is not included on the album that was hilarious, it talked about, "You gotta have rain..to have a rainbow." Very reminiscent of "Who's Got The Crack?" Please check them out for yourself. Just imagine The Pixies "Surfer Rosa" released as a demo. This band is original. |
