This CD rocked me without me being aware of it! It creeps slinky-slinky on to the speakers and from that opening thirty seconds of the first track you can FEEL how the album will progress. Not a moment in this album disappoints me, so give it a try.

And I challenge anyone not to hum the melody to "Cheap Wine" after a couple of listens!


Low-Brow, Please!   June 7, 2009

For the last decade, Brant Bjork has put out records under Brant Bjork, Brant Bjork & the Operators & Brant Bjork & The Bros. He pretty much runs the show on all of 'em. But some are true solo efforts and some feature other musicians. The sounds on each record are pretty much the same, so if you like one of his releases, you're probably gonna like the rest of 'em.

This disc has ten tracks and a lot of 'em sound like they've been recorded in a living room. Not to worry. This is what he does. He's all about low-brow & low-fi cool. And no one does it better. The almost '80s-style keyboard sounds and effects are a little weird at first but the record, on the whole, is another fine release by this musicians' musician.

What a mix of styles here. A little funk, a little jazz, a lotta rockin tunes. Brant Bjork is definetely an overlooked musician who writes great stuff. This album jams, plain and simple.

"Cheap Wine" might be the catchiest tune I've heard in a long time. "Electric Lalli Land" is funky and will get your head bobbin'. "Cocoa Butter" is smooth and easy and fantastic.

Gotta pick this one up fo sho.

I warn you, this album has a retro feel to it, but a refitting of retro, a use of all that has come before to pave the way for things not yet envisioned. I warn this album is not what you'd expect, however, you'd be an utter dully not to check it out. I warn you, this album will kill you with its melodies, absolutely murder you with its structures and demolish your soul with its niceties.
Whew!
From start to finish BB and the O's weave a pattern of songs so tight and on point that you'd think you were listening to a world saving party mantra. Use this album anywhere but especially in the car and especially outside on your patio. Like wine, it needs room to breathe.

If there ever was an album that says "Roll Another Number" it's this mellow, funky little gem. Whenever I listen to this I want to call up the bro's for a BBQ, chill out with some 40's rollin' fatties and talkin' about the ladies. OH YEAH!! If you like this music check out "Jalamanta" and Che- "Sounds of Liberation" if you can find'em. This is music for the people..Get it on!!
