Let me start out by thanking EdibleChrist, the other contributor to this blog [whenever he starts], for introducing me to this project. EC and I have been pals for quite some time now and I always appreciate his suggestions, and this is definitely a great one!
Man Man is an experimental band from Philadelphia that pretty much hits experimental rock on the head, with a giant piano driven- gold plated hammer. There are 2 other releases by Man Man, and each one is just as good as the next. They throw everything at you: Piano, Rhodes Piano, woodwinds, drums, bass, guitar, vocals, off-beat time signature and lyrics that cover the spectrum of tameness to absurdity. (absurdity is not used in a negative way for this review!)
Six Demon Bag, with 13 glorious tracks and nearly 41 minutes of great tunage, pulls out all the stops; hitting on multiple different genres and styles that will put your ears into orgasmic convulsions. The album, in EC's words, is a little downtrodden, but the style is fluid and makes the you always keep a foot tapping to their rhythms. This can be categorized by multiple different genre types, but honestly, this is another one of those projects that you need to hear for yourself. Check out their videos and try and catch them live if you can, but if not, definitely get this album.
Official Score-4/5
