Music reviews of Ghost of Fashion

Music Review: Wonderful and weird
Rating: 5 Stars

The most amazing thing is that the album never comes across as simply the smarmy, music-snob, pretense-fest it could have been. No, Clem Snide always manages to be genuine and genuinely affecting. This record is both overwhelmingly sad and funny... sometimes within the same song. For instance, "Joan Jett of Arc" sounds like something silly, but somehow manages to be a truly touching rumination on young love. "No one's more Happy Than you" is another twisted paean that managages to find a mainline to the heart with weird imagery. In fact, it's often as if Eef has tapped into some collective, pop-culture-consciousness to create these powerfully shambolic sagas of inexplicable longing and joy that seem at once familliar and strange. After listening through this album, you'll wonder how you ever lived without these songs, how you ever made sense of your life before Clem Snide. In all thier cracked and wheezing glory, they have created one of the true masterworks of this year.
