Release.Info :
Ten years ago, Kimya Dawson and Jeffrey Lewis, two scruffy New Yorkers who
slunk out of the cityÆs punky anti-folk scene, were signed to Rough Trade in
the UK. Dawson was half of The Moldy Peaches, a band that dressed as Robin Hood
and a bunny rabbit on tour, while Lewis was a comic-drawing, croaky oddball.
Both became known for cute songs with ironic titles like Downloading Porn with
Davo and Chelsea Hotel Oral Sex Song, and spent the next decade ploughing the
same arch-eyebrowed furrow. Only now, the Oscar-winning film Juno has made The
Moldy Peaches mildly famous, with their song, Anything Else But You, used in
the filmÆs finale. Just the right time, then, for Dawson to form an anti-folk
supergroup with Lewis and songwriter, Karl Blau, and pour into the worldÆs ears
a veritable torrent of twee.
Bolstered by the band numbers, and BlauÆs deeper, warmer voice, these songs
sound meatier than the membersÆ previous efforts. Still, it is wise to remember
there are no bloody steaks in Bundles World, only ham sandwiches cut into heart
shapes. Pirates Declare War and Metal Mouth are driven by crashing cymbals and
skinny-limbed loucheness, but they remain sardonic songs about toys and the
perils of kissing while wearing braces. The Olympia ChoirÆs church camp backing
vocals undercut the propulsive punk rhythms of Ishalicious, while Desert
BundlesÆ punky three-part harmonies are offset with a silly, twangy washboard.
Only Shamrock Glamrock escapes the constant whiff of irony, full of strange
electronics and oodles of surrealism, which show how Lewis, at his best,
resembles the Mark E. Smith of Manhattan. ôAlchemists join to turn Led Zeppelin
into goldà open sores! Open sores!ö he raves, taking delight in language for
once, rather than knowingness.
But elsewhere, the prevailing mood is sugar-sweet, with A Common Chorus telling
us not to ôforget about your friendsö, and Dawson telling us in Over the Moon
that her craft is about ôthe means of creating a meaningful existenceö.
Although this statement sounds very much from the heart, and many of these
songs make you smile while other make you sour, itÆs a shame that this albumÆs
playfulness very often comes across as pretentiousness.
