Huon - Answers to Lucky  CD

(Animal World Recordings - www.animalworldrecordings.com)
[Genres: twee, indie pop, dream-pop]

huonanswerstolucky.jpg (4123 bytes)Featuring members of two legendary twee groups, The Cannanes and Cat's Miaow, how could this album possibly disappoint?  Well, it doesn't, quite simply.   Combining soft, dreamy guitars, quiet vocals, and padded drumwork, Huon manages to create a tapestry of music that really makes you feel cozy.  Not only is the music warm and fluffy, but the recording itself is slightly muffled, as if it were recorded in one small, padded room.  I feel that I need to squeeze into a crawlspace filled with pillows to enjoy this fully.  Soft and cuddly are the two best adjectives here, and I stand by them.  If you are looking for intensity, look elsewhere, but if you're after some nice, light pop music, then this is definitely for you.  This is for fans of Cat's Miaow, the Cannanes, and anything on Library Records.  You have to hand it to the Australians, they seem to produce some of the best twee pop in the whole world.
