It’s a Lefty’s Sunday All Ages Matinee with
Easy Fruit
Rock and Roll
Put some cans on your head and one in your hand: the jean jacket junta has its soundtrack. Easy Fruit’s Easy Fruit EP has the effect of good propaganda or cheap beer. Its delirious energy whips you into a haze, and you somehow find yourself at ease. You stop asking questions and just enjoy the indoctrination.
Karen Meat & The Computer
Indie Pop
For an album that contains songs that are mostly about pizza, beer, and dysfunctional relationships, Karen Meat’s latest offering, Karen Meat & The Computer, is utterly and unrelentingly adorable. In the span of just five tracks, from three different songwriters, they manage to articulate a unified theme and a fresh, challenging take on the world that is vexingly rooted in both the kitschy and the macabre. Somehow it is both cute and gritty, exhibiting pop sensibilities in equal measure to it’s hooligan nature.
