+----------------------------------[Notes]-----------------------------------+
| |
| Seven years after Uh-Oh!, Tipsy returned with Buzzz, their first album |
| for Mike Patton's Ipecac label. Ipecac is as close to a perfect home for |
| Tipsy's genre-bending, utterly distinctive mood music as there could be, |
| fitting in with the label's other unique, largely instrumental acts like |
| Kaada and Patton's own Fant⌠mas project. Tipsy's comeback is as swank |
| and strange as their earlier work, but Buzzz is a shade less surreally |
| spacy than Trip Tease, slightly less sprawling than Uh-Oh!, and less |
| loop-based than either of those albums. None of this means Buzzz is |
| simple or minimal-sounding, however. Tipsy take their fun seriously, and |
| a lot of work goes into their twisted easy listening. "Sweet Spot"'s |
| twangy guitars, tumbling pianos, and wall-to-wall synths and "Chop |
| Socky"'s ratcheting percussion are almost visual in the way the sounds |
| pop in and out and bounce up and down, and they're so intricately and |
| subtly layered that it's easy to understand why they took a while to |
| piece together. The album opens with some Trip Tease-esque perversions |
| of '50s and '60s lounge: the bubbly "Midnight Party" could soundtrack an |
| after-party in a mad scientist's laboratory; "A Night on the Town" |
| shifts ever so gradually from fizzy glamour to madcap chase music; and |
| "Swingin' Spaceman" pairs Vince Guaraldi-style pianos with ray gun-like |
| synths and a lurching bassline. As Buzzz unfolds, however, so do shades |
| of Uh-Oh!'s eclecticism. "Lipstick Tree"'s big, funky bass and |
| saxophones and "Chocolate Moon"'s fluttering strings and flutes and |
| fuzzy guitars nod to late-'60s/early-'70s novelty music as well as adult |
| movie soundtracks of the time like Vampyros Lesbos. The album gets more |
| exotic and erotic with Japanese singer CoppΘ's vocals, which take |
| Buzzz's second half in a direction so hallucinatory and sensual that |
| it's too bad Tipsy already used the title Trip Tease. "Kitty's |
| Daydream," "Wet Rainbow," and "Up 'Til Dawn" are the audio equivalent of |
| bubble baths, mellow, flowing, and unabashedly feminine; even more |
| active tracks, such as the brassy "Kadonka" and "Hot Banana" ù which |
| plays like a twisted sister of the theme to I Dream of Jeannie ù have an |
| unmistakably girlish quirkiness to them. At first, the very different |
| moods of Buzzz's halves make it feel like two mini-albums stitched |
| together, but whatever approach Tipsy take or how long it takes for them |
| to make their music, it's still so distinctive that it's timeless. |
