Shonen Knife - Happy Hour CD


Available from Amazon Marketplace 6 New from $29.99 18 Used from $5.54 1 Collectible from $27.99

This 1998 release is one of the finest by Shonen Knife. This Japanese trio of sisters Naoko and Atsuko Yomano and their friend Michie Nakatani has been together since the mid-'80s. After nearly 15 years, their poppy exuberance and colorful sensibilities remain beautifully undiminished. This set offers classic new odes to sweets ("Cookie Day," "Hot Chocolate," "Banana Chips") and some savory foods of their homeland ("Sushi Bar Song," "Gyoza"). There are also songs about popular culture ("Dolly," "Jackalope"), as well as bits of friendly advice ("Catch Your Bus," "People Traps"). The album closes with the band's rendition of "Daydream Believer." Throughout, the arrangements are inventive and muscular, and the hooks are plentiful--who else could have turned "fish eyes" into such a joyous chorus? HAPPY HOUR is a delight, full of this band's long-standing delights, and a perfect place to start for anyone unfamiliar with Shonen Knife's charms.
