Gigantic A Tribute To Kim Deal

Reseña del editor A tribute to one of the most influential and certainly one of the coolest rock chicks of all time. This tribute is a pure labor of love for the label and features indie-rockers from all over the globe covering Kim's impressive body of work. Songs Kim's written for the Breeders and the Amps are covered with utter reverence here. Críticas Tipp City, OH's most famous resident is given the star treatment on this collection of covers by bands you've never heard of. My favorite covers happen to be my favorite songs (go figure), including 'Tipp City' by French indie-popsters Tara King Theory, 'Do You Love Me Know?' by Melissa Gibbs (which sounds like a b-side from Veruca Salt's American Things), and 'Doe' by Rizzo, in which Amy Fry sounds more like Deal's former Breeders bandmate Tanya Donnelly than she does Deal. Deal's most popular songs are covered by male-fronted bands: The Wheelers turn 'Cannonball' into a fuzzy, mid-'90s alt-rocker (gee, that's what it was originally!), and The Modifiers tackle 'Divine Hammer' as if it was penned by The Replacements. I hope Deal (and her fans) like the final product as much as I do. --Jack Rabid, The Big TakeoverThis new compilation from American Laundromat gathers 13 different takes on Breeders songs by Kim Deal. Stylistically, the bands on display here stick closely to the dynamics of the original material. This is especially true of tracks like 'Cannonball' by the Wheelers. Theirs is probably the least interesting update on the record, although the song itself ends up no worse for the wear. More stimulating is the fever pitch of 'The She' by Witch Hats, a rendition that's striking for an unhinged vocal and its searing guitar stabs. Elsewhere, the Nuevos' 'Invisible Man' stands out for its Guided By Voices-styled 'band in a can' production values and tight minimalism. Other highlights include Descartes a Kant's romp through 'I Just Wanna Get Along' and Francine's glassy-eyed version of 'Off You'. A welcome tribute to one of the true icons of American music. --Spencer Tricker, PopMattersIt's the lack of an all-star roster that makes this tribute a fine testament to how the spirit of rocknroll's coolest woman can launch a tiny seed of inspiration that grows into something bigger and better... gigantic, even. --Soo Oh, Venus Zine
