Ben London's
Alcohol Funnycar belong to the late generation
of Seattle's 1990s indie-rock.
They came to light with the EPs
Burn and Time To Make The Donuts (C/Z, 1993) and songs such as
Shapes on the second album display sincerity if not originality, even
though they are fundamentally melodic hard-rock, glam-rock and pop for
Nirvana fans.
The album
Weasels (C/Z, 1995) is a waste of time: it should have been a single because only two songs,
Objects and Red Wine, and maybe the catchy
Kindling, are worth the hype.
Ben London is acrobatic between the simple refrains of their ditties.
Later, singer Ben London formed Sanford Arms, whose
Too Loud For The Snowman (Pattern 25, 2001) mixes
lush, noisy, psychedelic arrangements and slow, melancholy, alt-country
depression (Science & Industry).
