Tomato Flower: “Radical”
One of those quizzical indie pop bangers. A solid lead guitar line guides you through our highlighted track “Radical” from Tomato Flower, pausing now and then for what sound like musical question marks. Like, shall we proceed? By all means! Curlicues and marginal sonic annotations abound. Shades of Mamalarky, shades of Guv’ner. Extra points for the throwback No Wave bridge. Sounds like we’re sharing space at the bottom of a well with Lee Ranaldo, and only Kim Gordon can grunt our way out. The lead guitar pulls us back into the light of day. Off the full-length No.
