You gotta love a song that dares to rhyme "Carolina" with "vagina" in the first line, ain't ya?
Of course, anyone familiar with sometime Moldy Peach ADAM GREEN'S recent album "Gemstones" will know it's a feverish exercise in attention deficit disorder defying and thirty-five minutes of breathless stylistic pigeonhole dodging which sometimes trips itself up with its' own puns in spite of itself.
Nonetheless, said album still has many fine moments to its' name, and the unlikely "Carolina" is one of them. It's mellifluous, theatrical, semi-acoustic indie pop akin to Stephin Merritt fronting Sparks in their '70s heyday and goes one better again by going on to rhyme (wait for it) "Dostoyevsky" with "Fab Moretti".
Which should be good enough for any of us to accept without qualms, really. Wonder if he'll have the balls to release "Choke On A Cock" as the follow up?
