Music reviews of Jewellery
Music Review: A new masterpiece of experimental rock
Rating: 5 Stars
There are a few albums that I love, and that I consider to be masterpieces of experimental rock: Captain Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica", Fred Frith's "Speechless", and The Residents "Meet The Residents" & "Duck Stab". Now I'm adding "Jewellery" by Micachu to the list. Micachu uses unusual time signatures, found objects as instruments (like bottles and even a vacuum cleaner) to create intense songs full of dizzying layers of sounds. In several songs the typical song structure is just thrown out the window, and her lyrics are like twisted poetry. And then somehow, even through all the wierdness, the songs are incredibly dance-able and catchy - you'll find yourself humming them and rocking out at all hours. After hearing so many supposedly "alternative" bands that are similar and boring, listening to Micachu is a breath of fresh air. If you are interested at all in something new and interesting, buy this immediately! Also if you get a chance, see their live show - they sound great, and it's fun to watch them playing all those wacky instruments.

Description of Jewellery
21-year old Mica Levi, a.k.a. Micachu, presents "an ear-bashing of crazy paving beats, junk shop punk, electronic drones, and deceptively mellifluous bedsit pop" - The Times. Equally at home making brilliant leftfield pop as she is composing for orchestras and making mix tapes that mash up dub step, grime, garage, and pop, it comes as no surprise that Micachu's debut is the aural equivalent of a chameleon: a multi-colored, multi-layered conflation of ground breaking sounds and ideas.Alternative Rock CDs
