Synopsis
Album Description Formerly the guitarist for new-school punks Compulsion, Garret Lee made the jump to big-beat electronica after Compulsion disbanded after 1996's The Future Is Medium. Signed to Pussyfoot Records, owned by electronic impresario Howie B., his pseudonym Jacknife Lee debuted with the 1999 single 'Cookies.' His debut album Muy Rico! dropped later that year. |
CD ReviewsA fun and impressive concoction Richard Diaz | 05/16/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is a pleasant surprise, as it received little press that I can remember. This is a great mix of 60's looped beats and keyboards (think Smashmouth for a parallel), with electronic tweakery and a clever use of samples on top - all served with a good sense of humor and fun. If you sent a DJ/Producer in a time machine with some gear, he could play chunks of this at a hip beach party. Besides the cool calt"Cookies,", you get the cheeky ode to Casey Kasim on "A Dog Named Snuggles," and Aphex Twn meets Willy Wonka concoction "Toot Sweet Boogie Woogie." A few of these tracks are forgettable -"Sweet Potato" and "Spermy Daydream," but on the whole a fun and impressive concoction for those wanting something different."
