For those that don't know, Christian Brady is the bearded frontman for Mass Movement of the Moth, and this is his self-recorded cassette that his mom helped him release. Like Mass Movement of the Moth this tape is kind of “out there” in a fun kind of way, and is really all over the place. Expecting to hear typical acoustic guitar type music, I was quite surprised to hear dance beats, Jack Johnson-esque rhythms, and lyrics verging on R&B. Of course there are tracks featuring your traditional guitar and soothing singing, but these are few and far between. Instead, pianos, synths, harmonicas, and various other instruments are used to create a giant mindfuck of a cassette. Brady's voice matches the music, changing dramatically from song to song. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the tape was self-recorded, the production isn't the best, and sometimes Brady's voice is hidden against the music, while at other points of the album there is a great distortion with the instruments. It doesn't sound to be intended, although I wouldn't be surprised. Like I said, it's Christian from Mass Movement of the Moth, I was foolish in thinking this would be anything close to “normal."
