Exit Human: "Arvada" |
 |
Arvada is a soundscape that's not too far removed
from Nurse With Wound or an even more bugged out
Herbie Hancock. This band dresses up for this
little party too, complete with partially a
shaved head and beard on one guy so it looks like
a big donut landed on his head while he was pen
to paper for the ditty Kill All Humans. When one
of the duo changes their name to Raldron you
know something's not quite there.
This cd's a bit like being trapped inside an old
Atari 2600 game. I used to spend hours as a
little kid playing Missile Command, Space
Invaders, Asteroids, and other quirky games full
of bleeps, blips and bloops. I actually enjoyed
this album. Well recorded, and with some good
femme vocals too.

The piano seemed to stand out
from the more modern keys (and I am NOT old
fashioned), and guitar is used sparingly. It also
sounds like there could be some cuts (scratching,
dj'ing, turntablism) in there as well.
I don't know why it just popped into my head just
now, but the sheer wackiness of this group's
Modus Operandi brought to mind an episode of that
1980's t.v. show Moonlighting. Cybil Shepherd
and Bruce Willis are seated in a Mexican
restaurant when a trio of mustachioed men holding
acoustic guitars arrives at the table and burst
into song. Willis leans toward them and smirks.
