Slumber Party - Musik

This is a seriously neat album. Slumber Party've still got that 3rd/4th album Velvet Underground vibe going (vocals sometimes kind of a cross between Lou Reed and Nico, though it's really the instrumental parts and the riffing-and-strumming which evoke the comparison...some of the soloing comes near Galaxie 500 territory, too, say on "Becuz") - see previously - and the addition of more electronics, mostly by way of keys, adds a level of interest and lushness which is thoroughly complementary...I listen to it all the way through, and then want to go all over again.
