THATS THE POINT.

"The one song that many will be familiar with now is the one from Juno. ANYONE ELSE BUT YOU, I think it's called. The female half of the Peaches is Kimya Dawson, and she now does alot more solo work, that is in more of the realm of this one song. But I was first introduced to The Moldy Peaches via a song called WHO'S GOT THE CRACK. The song is pretty ridiculous. The lyrics are juvenile, and possibly somewhat offensive to some. Whooo-oooo-ooo's got the CRACK!?

Alot more of this CD follows suit with this song. Juvenile, pointless, offensive... but something about the drawl and mundane characteristics of the two members seems to work. It's very alterna-folk, with a couple of garage punk moments. Kimya Dawson has that flat, unemotional tone to her voice. But with the male half, they sound like a couple lost inside a world of grey, and they pull off some great harmonies. Completely lo-fi like sound. I think they did one more album after this one, and were pretty much a cult underground thing, until that movie came out.

I can see why some people may find this thing to be pointless, but if you dig it, you will realize that those people miss the point.



Or maybe you won't, I don't care."
