Caustic Casanova
Reviewed: "Imminent Eminence" CD
There was a period in the late 80's / early 90's that would have suited Caustic Casanova perfectly.
Back when the Pixies didn't hate each other (as much), REM were less suicidal, Bob Mould was mellowing out and people still bought B52's records. Because that pretty much sums up the sound and feeling of this Caustic Casanova album.
Clever, quirky, laid back and catchy (if not a little too student-ie), Caustic Casanova have an air of optimism and freshness about them that's been lacking from the music scene for well over a decade now.
The tracks are very stripped down, with some nice pacing throughout, amply provided by the rhythm section - and with the odd novelty bit thrown into the songs for variation as well.
Overall? Good, summery, poppy tunes that its hard not to tap your foot to!
