Brother JT - Rainy Day Fun
(Drunken Fish)
Rainy Day Fun is literally the case as I sit down to
write this review (it's raining and I'm having fun
writing this review, get it?). On this release,
Brother JT unleashes good old home brewed 4 track FUN!
The drums and bass are squishy, the guitars are
fuzzy, and the vocals are quite underwater. Listen to
"This is the Life" and see what I mean.
At times I am reminded of the Apples in Stereo and
their E6 compatriots. The main difference seems to be
that this album sounds more E6 than anyone ever has.
What I mean is that when I thought of that collective
before ever hearing the music, I thought it would be
cute, homemade, and fun. Brother JT is all of the
above almost to a fault. At times the mood wears on
me and I want to reach for the Stars of the Lid, but
the thought of leaving such unbridled enthusiasm and
catchiness brings me back for more!
Kind of like candy... bad for the teeth but good for
the soul.
