####M;.RELEASE NOTES:                                                                      .;M#
####/ Gospel yeh-yeh, they call it. To the skeptics, it's a thin gruel rehashing 60s soul    /#
####/ and garage cliches and MC5-style cryptopolitical stances, a dancier version of the     /#
####/ Nation of Ulysses. To the believers, it's a cathartic blend of freak-out grooveism,    /#
####/ punk energy and (lots of) attitude, all delivered with unmatched cool and a knowing    /#
####/ smirk. They're a band who give fantastic face and brilliant interview, but is there    /#
####/ substance behind the style? If this album is a sign of things to come, their shit is   /#
####/ coalescing, getting it together, combining spark and fuse for something bordering on   /#
####/ incendiary. Produced by Adam and Eve, a.k.a. Royal Trux, the production is expansive   /#
####/ and echo-chaotic, clean but spicy. Obviously conceived as an album, rather than a live /#
####/ recording or collection of tracks as their earlier releases have been, it flows very   /#
####/ nicely from short sharp shocked to lazy instrumental to stomping chantdowns. Some      /#
####/ bands need to be witnessed live in order to be fully comprehended, the message of the  /#
####/ records, the humor, the energy is lost in the studio. The Make-Up is no exception, but /#
####/ this album seems to take this into account as it creates an optimal audio reproduction /#
####/ of the spirit of their gigs-- the frenzied build-ups, the tense drawn-out aching       /#
####/ pleas, the howling exhortations to jump and jerk. Unfortunately, you have to the do    /#
####/ the job of visualizing the overwrought histrionics and smooth dress sense of the band  /#
####/ in person. There's an invitation being given to "come on down in the midnight hour."   /#
####/ Take Ian Svevonius' hand and enter the rhythm hive, merge with the mass mind           /#
