Free Music Notes for Happy Hour
Free Music Review: (oh-so-slightly) Endearing and (pseudo-exploitative ) Cute
Hit: 2 Stars
2 1/2
These once "in the hip" Japanese female goofy rockers have not aged so well, as I am sure they did not even sound all that well when they first emerged and became all the rage for a brief time. Perhaps the sad lack of cultural connection to different music forced "open minded" music listeners to dig this, but the overtly exploitive and gimmicky nature of these tunes, not to mention their dumbrock songwriting style, would have any hardened musical cynic laugh at the mere premise. Still, some of these foolish little odes to the little things in life carry enough kinetic weight and vocal intuition to remain slightly endearing, switching from it's extreme light-heartedness into (rarely accomplished but often attempted) unabashed child stomping glee
Happy Hour Poster
Back with more of the quirk pop familiar to their fans, Shonen Knife's new album is a familiar blend of regurgitated Ramones riffs, assorted sunny jangles and three-part voices saying silly things in squeaky Japanese accents. There are wrinkles here that the band has been adding over their last several albums, like the early '80s' new wave that opens the album ("Shonen Knife Planet"), and the rare appearance of a song that actually goes past four minutes ("His Pet"). The loopiness remains intact for these intrepid ladies from the Far East, and only you can decide if you're up to the challenge of joining in. --Matthew CookeAlternative Rock Music CDs
