:: Release Notes:
::
:: Six songs through My Big Fat Privates by Baby Horses, things
:: were going extremely well.
::
:: Their soulful, instrumental brand of rock had offered up some
:: quality tracks. They were varied, and by all means impeccably
:: played. There was a variety of instrumentation, and the
:: styles and structures all coalesced extremely well, to craft
:: scatterbrained, but extremely enjoyable songs. Then track
:: seven comes on, and sets the band back about 4 steps. "Most
:: people donÆt believe me, when I tell æem IÆm a baby horse /
:: But it is true, and as a matter of fact, I can prove it here
:: today! / I wag my tail and I do funny lip movements when I
:: want some food from your hand." Had this come from Atom and
:: His Package, IÆd have thought it to be pretty damn funny, but
:: this track just completely killed the flow the album had to
:: that point. Luckily, after I recover from that needless
:: stupidity, the band does get back on track.
::
:: ItÆs difficult to say how such simple songwriting can seem so
:: structurally beautiful. The tones of the instruments are
:: really what makes things. A little bit of blues/funk flavor,
:: and a little bit of country twang both mix to form the basis
:: by which a lot of these songs are written. None are terribly
:: long, all establishing their basis early on, and getting to
:: the point rather quickly.
::
:: ôWeather Channelö sounds about as somber and full of remorse
:: as an instrumental track possibly can, and itÆs the
:: intangibles that keep on driving the song. The rhythms are
:: great, be they quick or slow, it just sounds perfect either
:: way. The delicate guitar plucking never really has to be
:: anything more than that, delicate. The band stays in reserve
:: mode for the most part, and thereÆs really no problem with
:: that. ôGood Fiddleö brings out a little bit of the band's
:: faster nature, but even that seems sort of short lived, as
:: the pace dies down to a gorgeous, flowing one after long. But
:: as it appears on this final track, they really canÆt set
:: their mind on a specific goal. Fast and slow, fast and slow,
:: many times both going on at the very same instant, with the
:: inclusions of the Chinese harp and vibraphone injecting even
:: more variety than was originally present.
::
:: Save for the seventh song, this is a complete and varied
:: album, full of all the instruments and sounds that you could
:: really ask for in one place.
