(I wrote this paragraph before listening to the album or looking at the liner notes) It's Alive Records recently put out the LP version of The Stupid Daikini's 2015 album everything is fine. I've basically avoided knowing anything about this album and/or listening to it (since I heard about it..and that IAR was releasing it physically) prior to having the LP in my hands. I for some unexplained reason assumed that it would be along the lines of folk punk from California when I first heard about the album. Now, it appears (based on the cover and song titles), to be garage punk with an 80's hardcore..possibly Riot Grrrl influence. I believe that the vocals are female and I'm guessing they're going to be closer to yelled/screamed than sang. I anticipate the songs to be drenched with emotion..err anger..and to be bangers. I'm anticipating the songs to be borderline bangers with a little sweet.
(I tried these chips a month ago but made no notes so this is off of memory and what the bag looks like) Sprouts Potato Co. Flavor No. Eleven Hatch Chile "Hot Spicy" "Crispy Crunch" Potato Chips. I remember the actual chips as being quite airy without losing their crunch, they're odd and like no chip I've consumed before. Flavour wise they are similar to a jalapeno heat with a bit of sweetness and have pretty good flavour coverage throughout the bag..but wouldn't fall under the 'loads of' category.
(post first listen/reading of liner notes). Shit me, the vocals are female but with a real soulful delivery (almost bluesish..and her delivery [not quite voice] reminds me of Miski from City Mouse). Stupid Daikini play sort of a garage lounge rock. The bandcamp lists this as a 2 piece band; Melissa Zavislak (vocals, ukulele) and Brittany Hartin (drums)..the liner notes thank Casey Gouldberg for Bass Guitar. There's a ton of distorted ukulele (2 words that you don't typically see together). Heartfelt and haunting lyrics. I'm gonna go with a lot of these songs were written after a relationship(s) that didn't end well. The music is soothing with lyrics that give it another dimension. First spin..quite enjoyable. For some reason I picture them really fitting nicely into a bill touring with Fire Next Time (Edmonton).
(I opened up my current bag of Sprouts Hatch Chile) They smell like Old Dutch Mexican Chili chips. They're an airy kettle cooked chip (like I said in paragraph 2, I don't believe I've had a chip like these before), they'd come off almost as a baked chip if they didn't have Kettle Brand levels of oilyness. The flavour is present in every chip but doesn't completely overpower the potato of it all. The bite is on the mild side of the jalap' spectrum (like a 3-4 / 10). They taste like they smell (mexican chili) so I guess it's a chili powder esque flavour. There's the tiniest hint of sweetness right near the end followed by a mild bite. Come for the flavour, stay for the actual chip. Bangin chips with okay seasoning, I'm looking forward to cracking the S&V bag waiting for me in the salty cellar.
Stay hydrated,
