Well this sounds a bit like Ariel Pink with a terrible female child singer at times, and it's effectively the same genre (retro novelty kitsch)

Each to their own with the genre of retro novelty shite I guess, but this singer sounds like Cartman trying to impersonate a ten year old girl singing Jackson 5 songs, it's legitimately horrifyingly bad vocals
Worse than the Algiers, and I never thought I'd find worse vocals than on that pig this year.

I did listen to half the album, gave it a real go and then just listened to the first three songs again. Not for me.
I can see how this could be fun, but sometimes vocals are a deal breaker...and if so the 0.5-2 rating is likely to follow.
The critics in general really like this so it has to have something for it.

Lucid can you at least agree that the vocals are 30% Cartman, can you give me that?

would rather listen to her than whatever creaky-kneed old fart is moaning in your chamber pop classics

Pretty sure the reaction to whatever Ariel Pink comes up with this year will be merciless, maybe I'll review it and take the full brunt - think he's the only performer less loved than even Josh Tillman here

Oh man, I just saw a picture of the band and the lead singer LOOKS like Eric Cartman and suddenly I felt bad for a moment...but now I think I get why this band are considered 'a bit different'. I can't beat myself up for going in blind...and coming out deaf. It's honest, I didn't get a chance to force myself to like this based on the novelty of having a heavy bird fronting the band.

Beth Ditto is boring but she can sing ok
I love fat birds though, don't get me wrong

it's not a fantastic voice by any measure, but on the EP's it had some ragged charm.. the cleaner production brought out all of this band's weaknesses..
|
| |
I feel like listeners who've been following the EPs are underwhelmed by this album because it's "more of the same," while first timers are vibing right away because it's fresh and electric to them.

Very true..

Doofus, jw, have you ever uttered the phrase "hey I'm not racist, I love ethnic women"?
|
| |
okay i checked out some live clips and her vocals were terrible there. on record though they're perfect for this brand of scrappy garage rock. i also like the seared/trebly filters they pass her vocals through in the production
|
| |
Somehow her vocals fit the crunchy dirty music but holy hells Doofus now that you put that Cartman idea in my head I can't hear anything else lol.
