Constant Hitmaker (CD)
Insound Staff Pick - 2009! "Constant Hitmaker's songs are varied and twisted in their arrangements, but most often
include exquisite melodies floating atop a bed of hissing psych-pop experiments that fall together
as nearly perfect pop songs. The album is steeped in an atmosphere of four-track recording and homespun obscurity, however it frequently, almost if by mistake, references a collection of some of pop music's best: My Bloody Valentine are felt on
'Space Forklift,' Lee Hazelwood's spirit haunts 'Slow Talkers,' and Lou Reed adorns 'Don't Get Cute.' All
this without mentioning the album's most distinct song, 'Freeway,' the lone studio recording and a piece of music that will become lodged in every
head that hears it. Constant Hitmaker comes off a bit straighter than anything on the Siltbreeze label, but more lovingly deranged than
most every other indie rock album. It's something noteworthy, no doubt, and not just because it lives up to its title." - Skyscraper Magazine
