Gigantic: A Tribute To Kim Deal - Various Artists CD
Product Description A tribute to one of the most influential and certainly one of the coolest rock chicks of all time. This tribute is a pure labor of love for the label and features indie-rockers from all over the globe covering Kims impressive body of work. Songs Kims written for the Breeders and the Amps are covered with utter reverence here. Review Tipp City, OHs most famous resident is given the star treatment on this collection of covers by bands youve never heard of. My favorite covers happen to be my favorite songs (go figure), including Tipp City by French indie-popsters Tara King Theory, Do You Love Me Know? by Melissa Gibbs (which sounds like a b-side from Veruca Salts American Things), and Doe by Rizzo, in which Amy Fry sounds more like Deals former Breeders bandmate Tanya Donnelly than she does Deal. Deals most popular songs are covered by male-fronted bands: The Wheelers turn Cannonball into a fuzzy, mid-90s alt-rocker (gee, thats what it was originally!), and The Modifiers tackle Divine Hammer as if it was penned by The Replacements. I hope Deal (and her fans) like the final product as much as I do. --Jack Rabid, The Big TakeoverThis new compilation from American Laundromat gathers 13 different takes on Breeders songs by Kim Deal. Stylistically, the bands on display here stick closely to the dynamics of the original material. This is especially true of tracks like Cannonball by the Wheelers. Theirs is probably the least interesting update on the record, although the song itself ends up no worse for the wear. More stimulating is the fever pitch of The She by Witch Hats, a rendition thats striking for an unhinged vocal and its searing guitar stabs. Elsewhere, the Nuevos Invisible Man stands out for its Guided By Voices-styled band in a can production values and tight minimalism. Other highlights include Descartes a Kants romp through I Just Wanna Get Along and Francines glassy-eyed version of Off You. A welcome tribute to one of the true icons of American music. --Spencer Tricker, PopMattersIts the lack of an all-star roster that makes this tribute a fine testament to how the spirit of rocknrolls coolest woman can launch a tiny seed of inspiration that grows into something bigger and better... gigantic, even. --Soo Oh, Venus ZineAdditional Info: Personnel: Julie Peel (vocals, guitar, ukulele, keyboards, drum programming); Jay Walsh (vocals, guitar, piano); Kreg Sterns (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Clayton Scoble, Annelies Howell, Sandrushka Petrova, Kris Buscombe, Amy Fry, Chris Perry (vocals, guitar); Beatrice Morel Journel, Charlotte Morris, Melissa Gibbs (vocals); Brian Sullivan (guitar, keyboards); Kirk Wall (guitar, background vocals); Albert Gualtieri, Tomas P.
