OK,besides some seriously awesome/distracting/fitting cover art,and a name referencing possibly one of the worst movies of our time(or best?),this was actually a VERY fun listen.Babes Forever gets things moving right off the bat with ''San Dimas Oasis'',a playful and energetic beat-driven number,bubbling with surf-y riffs and 808 calypso beats.Their shout-along-with-me vocals pair up really well with their music,and humorous lyrics like "San Dimas Oasis takes off your shirt,it's free" just complete the package.But,Babes Forever is no one trick pony.As the tracks change,so do their mood.The songs provide a not-so-narrow spectrum,from Wilson-esque beach-pop to heartfelt balladry to electro-calypso shakers.An early 60's west coast pop influence is present in these tunes.As you ride further into their world of drugs,humor,and nude skater babes,one thing becomes painfully clear: Coolrunnings are having way more fun than you.I'm not talking Sinbad:live at the Apollo type shit.This isn't a joke band,but it put me in a great mood almost immediately.Like when a friend tells you a clever joke.Their charm sits in the fact that they can write witty,wildly catchy tunes,and not take themselves too seriously while doing it.An all too common trait in this genre.Relax dudes,it's just music.Fits nicely along side your Nerve City, Tickley Feather, and Ganglians records.A good way to kick off your summer.Get the whole album below!
