Portland, Oregon: Portland psyche pop outfit, thebrotheregg, deliver another platter of delicious tunes just in time for the new year. The follow-up to 2005's "Aortica Mor", this 7 song "e.p." is equal parts love and grit, serenity and upheaval. The opening song, "Simpleton" plays like a calm campfire missive with sparse production that creates big open sound. Soft gravelly words float over the whole thing like, "On the wall as a fly open cataract sky. Dwindling is all our kindling..". Alternatively, songs like "Elevators" and "Daylight" simply rock your root chakra with bombastic guitars and verbal insurrections. "Blueberries" is a skate rock anthem for the new eon and "Dancing Satan" is more of the strange and compelling hook magick that defines thebrotheregg "outpop" sound. Additionally, "Elevators" is a catchy, up-beat jangle with a sideways Beatles head bob and the seductive chorus, "Avoiding, ignoring, asking what for. Pressing every button we will visit every floor. Up to the roof, down to the Earth's core, to where the stairwell's burning..." All that and if XTC F'd the Byrds you'd have "Simple Love" as their lovechild (track 3) and "Blasted" is just like it's own thing, man. It's got the crazy manic guitars and spazzy, real words coming at you strong like the rocket ship or crazy headspace that the name implies.

Issued on thebrotheregg's own Dandelion Wine recording label, this 7 song cd has beautiful digipack artwork based on the multi-media collage by Kathryn Hoffman consisting of numerous ink bugs in Technicolor cytoplasm.
