Add Date: March 23
Artist: Drink Up Buttercup
Album: Born and Thrown On A Hook
Label: Yep Roc
Genre: Experimental Rock/Psych-Pop
Comments: Drink Up Buttercup's debut album, Born and Thrown On A Hook, is filled with melodies and hints of late 60s pop, made all the more interesting by the intense layers of sound. The group has been receiving some Man Man comparisons due to their Philadelphia locale, crazy and energetic live shows, recording by Bill Moriarty, and (let's face it), some similar sounds and uses of instruments like the organ (all valid comparisons)--but Drink Up Buttercup take their sound in a less frantic, wild direction, and instead steer it to a more focused, stable place, sonically. It's enough crazy-circus-insanity to keep things interesting, but the overall album is much more melodic and straightforward, and some parts of songs sound straight out of the 60s pop world. Start with tracks 1, 3, 6, and 9.
