About Me
Shortwave radio squeals, Beatles-esque tape loops and healthy doses of analog knob-twiddling all underscore the pure-sugar pop tones of Snow Gas Bones. Meow Meow exists somewhere between Brill Building tradition and grandpa's pre-war 78 rpms played with a broken stylus. With hypnotic visual projections, all members sharing vocal duties and swapping instruments, they've brought their kaleidoscopic live shows up the west coast, down to SXSW and soon to the UK and Japan. Meow Meow Snow Gas Bones (Devil in the Woods) Former Pink Noise Test guitarist Kirk Hellie composes a feel good dose of California pop harmonies with the experimental art wreck that is Meow Meow. Joining him for debut album, Snow Gas Bones, is Christopher O'Brien (vocals/guitar), Michael Orendy (bass) and ex-Plexi drummer Norm Block, who all add their own frazzled instrumentation. It's a patchwork of melancholy indie rock ("Finis"), chunky bits of radio-friendly modern rock ("Disaffected") and just the right amount of trimmings ("Sick Fixation") to make the collective grin from ear to ear. Meow Meow makes it hard to place them in one genre, and that in itself is a brilliant effort. There's no pretense other than to spark a glorious sonic dream, much like the gossamer haze of "Amplified Breathing Apparatus" does. Nuzzle up to the warm buzz. (MACKENZIE WILSON) April 19, 2004 "Aren't ears brilliant?! Much in the same vein as twisted psychedelic Welsh warlocks Super Furry Animals-locked away somewhere marked "Kevin Sheilds' cupboard of things that make funny noises when you push them" and skinning up the wings of crushed butterflies-LA indie noise quartet Meow Meow are the reason God gave man ears. Because 'Snow Gas Bones' contains multiple reasons to give thanks for the existence of lugholes. Witness the fuzzy pop of 'All I Ever Got', which would be merely brilliant even if it wasn't for the minute of ace alien shag sounds plonked slap in the middle of it. Likewise the docile plod of 'Amplified Breathing Apparatus'. Sounding like Brian Wilson snorting sherbet off the warped grooves of pre-war gramophone records, it's conclusive proof that Meow Meow really are the cats that got the cream."
