If CD Baby likes it
« on: November 15, 2005, 02:43:00 pm »
Then it must be good!
 
  The Sugarplastic who already occupy the spot for best album of the year, have recently released 7x7x7 on CD.  7x7x7 was a series of seven seven inch singles released in the same vain as The Wedding Present's "Hit Singles".
 
 Just noticed today it's feature on the front page of CD Baby with the following blurb.
 
 The Sugarplastic: 7x7x7
 A music nerd like me could get excited about all the rhythmic play, noticing how if you consistenly keep a 2:3 beat going, these guys manage to dodge and dart between the beats yet always land smack dab in the same groove. But you don't have to be enthralled by cool rhythmic modulations and gymnastics to appreciate The Sugarplastic. Let's just say that as fun and entertaining as it might be, there's a helluva lot going on under those spunky hooks, those catchy as heck guitar lines, those brilliant choruses. It's jaw dropping how much ingenius they can pack into one song. It's sort of like visual art that you just really can't entirely appreciate in one looking- you just know it's damn good. From hints of the 60s to emo rock of today, 7X7X7 will keep you entranced the whole way through.
 
 Buy it from  CD Baby or direct from their record company  Tallboy Records.
 
 Oh yeah there is Myspace page as well

 Still remains the most striking record I've heard all year.  Remarkable for the fact that it's primarily a self produced home studio affair.  However, the Sugarplastic maybe to clever and quirky for it's own good to reach beyond the pop underground they inhabit.  Regardless, it remains highly recommended.
 
 Were they from Montreal, Brooklyn or part of some collective, they'd be playing secret shows that bloggers would be all in a tither about.  But, what do I know being a longtime fanboy.
 
 From The Big Takeover story on the band...
 
 "Will dazzles in the smae curious and consuming way that the most recent Flaming Lips albums have.  It's an album as catchy as it is complex and inventive, which, when you right down to it, has always been the Sugarplastic's unspoken forumula for success".
