Johnny Goudie and his gang from Austin (Texas) play tuneful,
energetic and emotionally charged rock and roll that explores morbid behaviors
and deranged states of mind.
Peep Show (Elektra, 2000) is an appropriate title for the debut album.
That is what Goudie's songs provide: an indiscreet look at the private
obsessions of the bourgeosie.
While derivative of Garbage (Baby Hello),
Cardigans (Sugar Daddy) and countless others,
with nods to Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy (Tonight),
the music mixes power (southern boogie riffs, granitic drumming) and weakness
(electronic and percussive noises, odd tempos, psychedelic slumber)
in an original manner.
Goudie keeps searching for the ultimate decadent/romantic psychodrama
(tenderly in the closing When Will You Be Mine),
when he may be more suited for the blues-rock that propels the shorter
Buy Me.
