Review by: Tom Sloan
Whilst I’d admit to being distinctly unqualified to review anything remotely “electronica’, I can safely say this record baffled me and scared the shit out of me in equal measures. I’m referring to the first time I put this on, and after a bunch of weird noises, some premise of a song was established and I resigned myself to a few weird vocals and more ambient noises. Unfortunately, such “bliss’ only lasted a short time before some fairly piercing and unlistenable noises kept hurtling out of the speakers, towards my ears, and impaling themselves in my brain. A unique case of distinct aural discomfort caused by a music c.d.
I think the fact that I sssoooooo don’t get this is precisely the point for the people who created Secret Mommy. You just know it’s going to be weird when there is picture of a bear with a man’s head on the cover, and a perplexing press release with a strange passage of writing in which you are encouraged to “fill in the gaps’ with your own missing words.
Here’s the ignorant pig line: it all sounds the same to me. I guess it’s just like a westlife fan trying to review a yaphet kotto l.p. Lots of noises. Great description, eh!
All I know is that it hurts my brain.
