Debut Long Player Guns Babes Lemonade from Australian artist Muscles wants you to get ***ing PUMPED. He serves up 11 tracks of relentlessly catchy electronic songs. The songs follow the same basic format - layers upon harmonized layers of chanted, shouted, and whooped vocals over some of the best house/acid/what have you sequences I've heard all year. Practically every song on here could qualify as a single.
Lyrically, Muscles is funny and ironic and somehow manages to come off as completely sincere all the while. The tag "My friend Richard/Is teaching me Acid/ Because I was too young to remember the music/ For them it took hours/ For us it takes seconds/ If we want to bring it back we've got to make it different[!!!]" from "My Friend Richard" captures the glib-yet-endearing feel that pervades throughout the album.
Where he really thrives, however, is in recreating early house/rave music. He's not really innovating or subverting or any such thing here, but like his British contemporary Mylo, he's simply damn good at what he does. This one's a serious contender for party album of the year.
