Bottom of the Hudson - The Omaha Record (Absolutely Kosher, 2003)

Rating: 6 downed US Air planes out of 10

What an interesting little genre-hopping album this is by Bottom of the Hudson. Sometimes Notwist-style electro-pop, sometimes Pavement-ish indie riff rock, occasional Guided by Voices sounding jangly pop, so on and so on. Even though it’s all one band, it plays more like a mix a friend might make for you. There’s bound to be something on here for everyone, and if you’re lucky like me you’ll like almost all of it. There’s even a funny answering machine message at the end with some white trash-type fella telling them to stop playing ‘that damn reggae music’. Quite a likable record.
