Bacon Moon's name may conjure up the fleet of psychedelic bands that sound as if they picked their names from words in a hat (Strawberry Alarm Clock, et al.), but Bacon Moon's music is firmly planted in the lo-fi alternative rock of the early '90s.

Upon listening to Bacon Moon, after sifting through the lo-fi hums and rattles, it becomes clear that there is a good deal of humor at play. Take "Lets Get Together" as an example. Moon sings about how excited he is to form a band, write some tunes and "rock your face off." He promises us that he has a lot to say. Later on, it's suggested he might just want to form a band so that he can win over a girl, which is about as honest as you can be about wanting to make music.

Bacon Moon has a quality similar to Guided by Voices. As with Robert Pollard's GBV, Bacon Moon possess a preternatural gift for pop structure, for constructing these humble little gems that stubbornly stick in your head - try as you might to shake them loose.
