MATT DRISCOLL: MOONBEAMS REVIEW >>>
As though it was by design, the naked women got me. It’s a little embarrassing to admit, but it’s true.
As we work our way well into month two of online CD reviews on weeklyvolcano.com you may have become accustomed to my references to The Crap Pile. The Crap Pile is a mountain of CDs and promotional material sent by bands near and far that sits in the corner of my office. Every Thursday I dig through it, in search of the perfect CD to review.
This week, near the top of the pile, sat Throw Me the Statue’s debut full length, Moonbeams. Though it was released in March, and I’d heard the single “Lolita†a number of times on KEXP since then, I had yet to hear the entire record. Couple this fact with the picture of topless girls jumping into a summer touched lake on the cover of Moonbeams, and, well, it was enough to hook me.
What can I say? I’m lowbrow.
This CD, however, is anything but lowbrow. And it doesn’t need topless women to attract a crowd. (Before I go too far on this topless women tangent, it should be noted that the photo is completely tasteful. There’s nothing pornographic or even erotic about it. I’m just kind of a junior high boy when it comes to boobs. When I see them, I can’t help but point them out. But anyway…)
