Barnes & Noble - Jon Dolan
As his pals in Stereolab fit into a niche as tenured avant-pop radicals, the resident keyboards, gizmos, and arrangement wiz Sean O'Hagan continues to find fresh musical purchase in his remarkably sweet, experimentally smart light-pop outfit, the High Llamas. Reaching beyond alt-pop's classic canon to pull from kitschy influences like Martin Denny's exotica and Bacharach/David's expertly arranged pop, and mixing them up with quirky compositional principals, post-Moog electronics, and the occasional slice of Kraut-funk, his music is at once elevating, frustrating, and always fascinating. If 1998's COLD AND BOUNCY lived up to its title a little to stolidly, the less chilly ...

Barnes & Noble - Jon Dolan
As his pals in Stereolab fit into a niche as tenured avant-pop radicals, the resident keyboards, gizmos, and arrangement wiz Sean O'Hagan continues to find fresh musical purchase in his remarkably sweet, experimentally smart light-pop outfit, the High Llamas. Reaching beyond alt-pop's classic canon to pull from kitschy influences like Martin Denny's exotica and Bacharach/David's expertly arranged pop, and mixing them up with quirky compositional principals, post-Moog electronics, and the occasional slice of Kraut-funk, his music is at once elevating, frustrating, and always fascinating. If 1998's COLD AND BOUNCY lived up to its title a little to stolidly, the less chilly SNOWBUG flows and flutters with the sweetness and slight of the Llamas' Brian Wilson-influenced 1997 release HAWAII. O'Hagan's vocals aren't going to co-opt Dionne Warwick's legacy any time soon, but he does his forebears proud on mini-symphonies like the bongo-led butterball "Harper's Romo," the plucky "Triads," and the florid fiesta "Go to Montecino." Stereolab singers Laetitia Sadier and Mary Hansen brighten the sonic palette on the watery "The American Scene," Sadier's French accent sounding almost stern in this willfully escapist context. Yet, while SNOWBUG is fervidly fluffy, it's never so lubricated that it slips through your fingers. In short, it'll take you higher.
