Grand Alto - Go Alaska - CD (2007)

Labels: self released
Review by: Thomas Strawbridge

I’ve been accused of lacking professionalism so I’ll up my game. This cd has been given to the C presumably because no-one would buy it due to the atrocious artwork. Still, let’s not assume anything eh? The best I can do is to describe this as ‘weirdo rock’. It’s got a lo-fi indie vibe and meanders around like Pavement used to. But not as good. the vocals don’t really fit the music either, mostly half sung/half spoken where they’d be better off key – “i think my voice sounds fine”? You’re on your own. This isn’t bad, but it isn’t particularly good. If you’re interested in scraping the sides of the indie rock barrel then you could do worse I suppose.
