Six years in the making, this long-awaited album from The Mattoid (Ville Kiviniemi) features interpretations of 17 pop classics by a wide range of artists—from Abba to Zappa. Finland-native Kiviniemi even offers a few choice selections from his homeland, and his unique perspective gives new meaning to Paul Simon's "America." The CD also includes The Mattoid original "Be Your Own Pet." 50 minutes. In English and Finnish. Parental advisory: Explicit content.

 

Dave's second CD continues his lo-fi exploration of carnal hedonism and musical psychiatry with "Lavender Clothes," "Puff Rider," "Love Jones" and 19 other tunes. Features Dave's band The Gospel of Power. UPC 827912010176.

—The Wire

"[Translates] a love of '60s and '70s rock and soul through the lens of punk and experimentation."
—Nashville Scene
