Mon Frere - "Y.M.M.W.D.S.B." - Blood, Sweat & Swords
Seattle has found it's newest Kim Deal (good looking, great voice, plays a sexy instrument), and I'd say she is more than a little pissed off.
Okay, let's begin with the ridiculously addictive synthesizer. Holy cow. I still remember the first time I previewed this track in the RainyDawg studio. I needed nothing more than the introduction to know that I wanted to play it on my show IMMEDIATELY. Throw Nouela's killer mic control into the mix with the cool-as-hell single string guitar during the verses and it's a hit.
Winners of EMP's SoundOff competition in 2005 (all bands must be under age), this three piece was presented with a lot of cool stuff, including studio time. They recorded a rad EP, recipient of lots of well-deserved hype at the ol' station. Cake Records said, hey, let's do business, bubbie.
This is the lead track from their Cake Records debut, and all I know is that I'm glad to be sitting on my couch in Spokane, assured of the fact that I'm not the target of Nouela's venom. I assume I'm not, since this song was written before I had a chance to meet her.
Not only is she pissed, she wants to die. Either he goes, she goes, or she goes home and sledgehammers some Littlest Hobo figurines. Somebody did a number on this lip-ringed cutie.
I'll say it once, I'll say it again:
I wanna watch you beg
I wanna hear you cry
I wanna watch you die
It's that last line (and that she's willing to say it multiple times), the way she wails it that really, I mean REALLY, sold me on this record. The way she squeezes the very last of her lungs onto the tape during the last chorus is damn cool too. Did I mention that she plays the keys on this track too? Hot damn.
Cool points: Mon Frere has no bassist. Keys, a huge guitar sound and driving drums. Simple and effective.
Bonus cool points: Mon Frere played the RainyDawg Radio Birthday Bash this past year. Free shows are THE BEST!
Love,
Hoffie
