HUFFAMOOSE
I Wanna Be Your Pants (Shanachie Records)
Reviewed by Holly Day

The first song on this record is exactly like I wish the rest of the record had been like-funny, upbeat pop music with a definite self-deprecating slant. "New Hit Song," the album's single, is a great song about a guy whose dad wrote a hit song and invites his son to tour with him, and damn, if it ain't a knee-slapper. I'm a fan of knee-slappers. The rest of the album, however, is more like what I remember from Huffamoose's previous albums, falling somewhere between psychedelica and acoustic coffeeshop rock, which is okay in itself but just not my favorite type of music. Boo for me. I can say, however, that I love the way this is recorded, I especially love the way the vocals sound on this-I just wish they'd made more borderline-novelty songs like the previously-mentioned first track for this record.
