Here's another quirky one that's also been shared on a couple other blogs. I just sold my copy, but made sure to rip it first. This is a curiosity; a really strange combination of wide-eyed post punk synth/guitar experimentalism with some really odd prog-like flourishes (odd tempos, crazy drumming). Together these characteristics create a really unique sound and approach. The production somehow veers from boombox level fidelity to decent 4-track quality, sometimes in the same track. Some tracks embrace a more electronic approach, with awkward and often shrill casio type pads juxtaposed with pleasant folk guitar, or a synth and drum kit workout that predates "post rock" by a good sixteen years or so. There's also some bugged-out RIO type manoeuvres; cut and paste voices and various field recordings thrown in the mix.
There's a great and informative overview of this record over at Holy Warbles.
