Music reviews of Momofuku

Music Review: I Love Elvis But...
Rating: 3 Stars

...I found this to be rather a boring album, as though he phoned it in. Or, as the title suggests, he simply added water to his noodles. Before you dismiss this review, let me state that I am a HUGE Elvis Costello fan and have been, all through his ups and downs. I even enjoyed "Goodbye Cruel World". And I appreciated, if I didn't really care for, "The Juliet Letters" (which, I know, isn't purely a Costello album). But I expect more from Costello. As far as these songs go, they are rather disposable.

Description of Momofuku

By now, some of you may have heard rumour of an album called "Momofuku" and wonder what this record is...

The absence of much advance notice or information might seem a little strange and perverse but the record was made so quickly that I didn't even tell myself about it for a couple weeks.

So, what can I tell you about "Momofuku"?

Well, obviously the title is a tribute to Momofuku Ando, the inventor of the Cup Noodle. Like so many things in this world of wonders, all we had to do to make this record was add water.

Now, I understand that there is also a fancy eatery in New York City that has made the same connection with Ando-San. So, just in case anybody is inclined to mistake our record for something edible, we've added a disclaimer to the record jacket. I like saying, "record jacket" again.

This record actually came about because of an invitation I received from Jenny Lewis to sing on her upcoming record. Davey Faragher had been playing bass on some of the sessions, so it didn't seem like too much of a stretch to call Pete Thomas to complete the Imposters' rhythm section.

Jason Lader not only recorded and mixed the record; he also managed to document the sessions with his camera.

Every record has its own method. This was the one for these songs.
