All songs written and produced in Melbourne, Australia, 2007. Mastered at The Exchange.
Released in a digipak case with "MUSCLES" raised up on the cover. The album comes with a small poster of the cover art (without the album title). On the back of the poster are the lyrics, credits and thanks.
Ridiculously poppy, upbeat music with layered vocals (often vocoded) over synths and electro and beats. Sometimes sounding like 80s electro revival, sometimes like something you should hear in a sweaty club full of trendy kids, and sometimes you just have no idea (see: "Ice Cream" - a serious song about fearing people on the train, and ice cream saving the day). And I'm still not sure if "My Friend Richard" is referring to Mr. R. D. James, on the only track that starts in a distinctly noisy and glitchy Aphex Twin sort of way, then eight seconds later the standard beat kicks in and gets you bouncing.
I haven't listened to these tracks all that long, but I'd like to believe these songs will sound fantastic in a few years time. If nothing else, I think they'll keep me smiling and dancing (to ring tones in the street).
