Cuddle Magic “Info Nympho”


(This Is An Analog Recording) With the sour singing voices on display here, they might want to change the band name to Curdle Milk-gic. Opens with a suicide-themed “We Didn’t Start the Fire”/”Cult of Personality” name-a-lot-of-people song, with eclectic namechecks of Vic Chestnutt, Spaulding Gray, Phil Loeb, Walter Benjamin, Albert Ayler, and others, and while the song has an appropriate darkness and disconcerting vibe, it seems almost heretical to sing the words “Donny Hathaway” in a whiny, key-challenging voice.
