Snow Gas Bones

Shortwave radio squeals, Beatles-esque tape loops, and healthy doses of analog tape twiddling all underscore the pure-sugar pop tones of "Snow Gas Bones." Meow Meow offers up their debut album, a literate blend of fuzzed-out guitar anthems and beautifully understated vocal soundscapes, fueled by a penchant for pop melodies and art-damaged, found-sound sonics. "Snow Gas Bones" exists somewhere between Brill Building tradition and Grandpa's pre-war 78 RPMs. Hot diggity.
