Ho hum, another day, another awesome tape from Pecan
Crazy. Kay Odyssey is an Austin four-piece dream rock/indie band along the
Belly/Lush spectrum, but with some heavily vibrato’d Sleater-Kinney-esque
vocals. Honestly, did you just read that sentence or not? Because if you did,
you should be drooling all over your clean shirt right now – there’s nothing
not to like in that sentence. In fact, you should be running to the phone and
calling the Pecan Crazy ordering desk. (Or going to the website, either one.)
This is a full ten-song burner (eleven if you count
the cassette-only hidden track, and you should!). The guitars are recorded
crisply and cleanly, the distortion compressed, the drums smacking away in
clockwork foundation. Kristina Boswell’s voice expertly flits over the top of
the compositions like a bird periodically alighting on a Marshall stack, but
never once straining to be heard above the rest of the band. This is expertly
crafted and mixed, and should be a staple for all you indie rock lifers still
out there. I’m queueing up my VHS copies of 120
Minutes right now to get even more of a fix. If you don’t have VHS tapes
like that, you can just play Knock Out! over
again – no one would judge you.
