No-Fi Soul Rebellion, a funk-pop/rock experiment spearheaded by
Mark Heimer (with wife Andrea and drummer Max Allyn),
presents this five-track tidbit of groovy, melodic musique.
Though certainly different, this disc is by no means
inaccessible; in fact, if you're up for trying something a bit out of
the ordinary, this makes for a pretty safe pick. Heimer
creates energetic, bouncy compositions with a strong funk element and
lots of joyful fun. Known for a rowdy stage presence, they weave
silly lyrics into unusual compositions posing comfortable grooves
routinely interrupted by noisy moments of explosive rock
release. Opener "Ch*rch" is the clear highlight here,
with its laidback funk surrounding a monster solo based on a famous
classical piece (I won't give it away). "Beautiful &
Hard" and "" are more climactic, meanwhile,
