someone who's more creative then myself should "find" the actual shovel review and post it here. it won't be too hard.
I don't know what those quotation marks mean, but a quick google search turned this up:
Javits Mockery
The Generic Indie e.p.
Rating: 8.1
If you, like many others, are looking for some sincere indie folk/alt. country fusion to get you through the summer, then you should look no further than the lap-steel-drenched, glockenspiel-tinged stylings of Javits Mockery’s
The Generic Indie e.p. The sprawling sophomore album from this Vancouver trio shows us a new side of The Mock—where their first album,
Excessively Long Title That Vaguely References A Book We Think You’ve Probably Never Read was all about bringin’ the rock, the group has turned down their amps and brought out the campfire songs for
Indie e.p. Stylistically, the album is a mixed bag—songs like
I Left My Heart In The Trunk Of Your Car and
Cat Dance are searing acoustic ballads guaranteed to rip your bleeding heart out at the seams and throw it at the nearest passerby, whereas tracks like the jazzy
Futon Lover or the post-apocalyptic
Pants Down take advantage of the boy-girl vocals used so brilliantly in
Excessively Long—but usually consistently pretty okay. Certain tracks can be cringe-inducing (the inexplicable consistent feedback on
Your Heart Is A USB Hub sounds, at best, like the worst of
Metal Machine Music fighting with a stray lemur), but, all in all,
The Generic Indie e.p. is melodic, melodramatic, beautiful, and a perfect soundtrack for spring. Kickass cover art, too.
Okay, now we can all go back to pretending I have a life.
