Title: Chok Rock - Big City Loser
Product review: Although the start of "Give It Up," the first track on Chok Rock's _Big City Loser_ EP, might not sound as if it has much rock, by the end of the track, after the electro-funk has faded, blues-rock noodling takes over, albeit punctuated with electronics. "Buzz" has much more of that rock/electronic crossover feel, with some Prefuse 73-style cut-ups and rhythms (but with a French accent that takes a moody turn towards the end). These tempo-morphing tracks keep the listener surprised: "Happy Man" gives up some cool, Gallic funk before moving upbeat (with electric guitar) and back again, while "Take a Plane" comes the closest to pure rock, starting a strummed guitar riff melded with synth sweeps and some skeletal drum hits, all smothered under fuzz and distortion. Everyone's a winner with this "loser."
