Special and Awesome

Guns Babes Lemonade
Muscles
Modular, 2007
3.5 stars

Wooo! Yeah! What a great record. A one-man dance machine from regional Victoria, Muscles injects his debut with so many good vibes that it practically drips honey. Wooo! Multi-layered nasal vocals, sugary synths and trancey basslines feature throughout and, though cheap and easy, it never becomes tacky. Yeah! Guns Babes Lemonade sounds like that hour at a music festival just before the sun goes down, when you're dirty, half-pissed and everything is just good. An album about having an awesome time, plain and simple.
