GeorgiaGeorgia - Nothing New [MMM013] (May 29, 2005)

Georgia was the work of Patti Kim (Meowch / Tel Quel) and Five Seventeen (Toys for Elliot / 5MP) who carefully crafted songs with their 4-tracks in separate houses rather than walk the half-block to each others houses. This CD compiles the original Nothing New release issued in 2000 and adds 4 tracks (2 previously unreleased).

From the lesser-known Sesame Street cover, "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon" (originally performed by Ernie) to the ethereal "Highway Soul (Miracle Mix)" the album brings in outside talents of Wendal's Jef McLarnon and Oval-Teen's Brad Davis to reach levels far beyond their scrappy debut cassette released three years prior.

Interesting blend of a slow-moving folk & indie experimental. I like the feel of these songs. With a lot of this minimally-produced stuff, the emotion figures bigger than the 'technique' or the 'quality' of the recording process. If you can live with that, you'll enjoy.

Subject: hypnotic power of Northern Lights
the Northern Lights track is amazingly hypnotic. This song (as well as the others) can grow on you.

The songs are slow, minimalist, psychodelic, sometimes a little monotonous and atonal. A little like No lo tengo, cocteau twins or Dream Pop. Some of the pieces are insubstantial, but the overall package is quite nice.

another strange thing. Some of the times for the tracks are completely off. My winamp shows Northern States as 53 minutes long, (which is really 9 minutes).
