(Discriminate Audio) Giddle Partridge
and Boyd Rice create a slice of ridiculously delicious musical birthday cake
that takes the gretest ingredients found in teenage pop, punk, French pop, and
your dreams and squeezes into a pink, heart-shaped vinyl EP. Boyd explores his
seductively creepy side, and Giddle her seductively seductive side by genuinely
capturing the magic of Serge and Bardot on loyal covers of “Bonnie & Clyde”
and “Contact.” Suicide, with Stooges confidence and Archies gloss, is channeled
on “Rocket USA.” And jaw dropping originals (or originals-esques, as highlights
of pop history are sublimely sampled in music and tone, with the Shangri-Las
most overtly embraced) inform us not only that Ms Giddle’s vagina is made of
bubble gum, but that Boyd is capable of making garage goodness so fine it makes
you forget all past perceived indiscretions…even when he includes the word “SS”
and jackboot sound effects on a track!
