THE CRADLE “Bodies Coiled Around Themselves Drink the Water” (self-released
Feeding Tube)
Dear nerds. Question. What’s the point of sending two records by the
exact same artist in the same batch? Because guess what – here’s the same
review, except with some minor changes. What do you want me to do, honestly?
“Paco’s music is much more interesting than I expected it to be.
Terrible moniker (The Cradle?), terribly produced “j-card.” better
produced j-card than Bodies Coiled –
that’s what not self-releasing will
get you, I guess. What do you do? Hope it’s not another garbage fire
that’ll ruin yet another cassette
player. Well, I’ve got good news for all of you on the other side of this: my
tape player still works. Still spitting out music, sometimes like a real jerk,
like a jackass. That’s the stuff I don’t like. Paco – well, he somehow channels
a wide-eyed innocent version of the brothers Kinsella, sometime before Joan of Arc, Dick Cheney, Mark Twain.
It’s pleasantly indie, pleasantly low-key emo, and all around bookwormy in the
neatest of ways. Get past the “book-by-its-cover” nonsense my
undisguised cynicism if you really want to live your life like an American
Football. An AMERICAN FOOTBALL. Get it? They just put out a new album not too
long ago. Owen.”
Going to sleep now. In my man cradle, i.e. big boy bed.
