THE PERFECT ME
self-titled (self-released)

Reviewed by Holly Day



Wow, this is just so fucking annoying it's awesome! I love it! Grown-ups singing children's songs' repeated refrains in falsetto chorus against walls of static, keyboard samples, high-pitched, distorted screaming voices, cartoon noises, odd thumping sounds, records being sped up and slowed down again and again, out-of-tune porno guitar, white noise, bugs, etc., etc., The vocals are just awful/wonderful, as though someone was originally taped singing in the shower to themselves and then music was constructed around those meandering, private little songs. I can't think of a better album to play to get rid of unwanted house guests, or scare off unsuspecting trick-or-treaters.
