One half-Cherokee sister is a former model, the other a trained opera
singer. The former sings, the latter plays a harp. Uh-oh! Would it ease
your mind to learn that their most visible sideperson is a male
African-American singer-percussionist? Maybe not. So take solace in this:
Their third album is far less insufferable than its predecessor, even
though said predecessor sported the far more sufferable title Noah's Ark. It
has less keening, less preening, less theremin, if that was a theremin
(in fact, no theremin!), better baby talk. It has a catchy kiddie song
that goes, "Everybody wants to go to Japan/
Everybody just hold hands," then
"Ja-Maica," then "I-Raq" -- "But once they go, they don't come back."
It's often cute, rarely precious. But it also has some sort of
"concept." And hard as it may try, it isn't Bjork. It isn't even Deerhoof.
