by Larry "Fuzzy-O" DolmanCAN'T: Final Performance CDR (RRR)
The concept and presentation is as simple and concise as could be — by herself singing songs, five tracks clocking in at just over 13 minutes — but the catch is that she's singing into a microphone that is really overamped and feeding back heavily, and then the double catch is that, despite this chaotic volume situation, it sounds like she's trying to hide the performance/recording session from her family members and/or roommates in the other room (the album was in fact recorded at her parents' house). It's like one-woman shy crazy funny gutsy metal stream-of-consciousness acapella karaoke. Then, track three is a shy noise track with no vocals, at least not any vocals that are readily identifiable as human, and it's seriously some killer sponge-squeal. And two more tracks, with vocals, and weird beat-box stylings.
Can't? I can!
