2006, Magic Marker
My attraction to Boat stems from a love of eccentric, "sloppy pop." It is this sloppiness, the result of a DIY methodology, that makes them so endearing. Indeed, a record sounding as though it came from the living room of a neighbor, or the basement of your own house, sounds somehow less removed from the average listener. Remember the intimacy everyone loved when the first Iron and Wine record came out? - Three Imaginary Girls

Customer Reviews




lance callansThis record is full of catchy lyrics and pretty interesting lo-fi instrumentation. I hear glockenspiels, theremins, squeaky synths, and fuzzy guitars. The vocals are slightly froggy and reverb soaked. My favorite is Clogged Castle, I am not sure who Reptile Boy is, but I'm glad I met him!
