Title: One of the year's best
Product review: The cd starts off brimming with energy that it maintains throughout--drums, organ, vocal and then funky guitar sneaking in. "Sni Bong" seems to incorporate the Cambodian and Ethiopean influences seamlessly, but "Tip My Canoe" is the track where it all really comes together for me. "Tap Water" has the propulsive feel and drama of a Bollywood soundtrack, opening up into a soaring refrain that for some reason recalls to me the Motels' Martha Davis ("Remember the Nights"). I like the poppy "Escape From Dragon House," which feels like a story though I can't understand the words. "Hummingbird" is beautiful in a simple and unexpected way, acoustic guitar and vocal. Chhom Nimol's voice is the jewel of this psychedelic setting. I'm a new fan, thankful to have found this group.
