Licorice Roots
Label: NoneGenre: Experimental, Pop
Let me preface Licorice Roots by saying they're an acquired taste. I admit I almost didn't last twenty seconds into their record. Their wobbly, off-kilter sound knocked me off balance at first. At first. But I held strong and as soon as I ventured four tracks deep, their song "Hey There Little Love" saved the CD from certain eject-death. I learned to appreciate Licorice Roots for their peculiar low-fi-ness. It's as if The Seeds were playing underwater, with a sprinkle of attitude courtesy of Ween. My swimming trunks are on and I'm in mid-cannonball, ready to take the Licorice Roots plunge! P.S. If the vocals are a bit much for you, check out the title track "Caves of the Sun." It'd make a great soundtrack to a SpongeBob SquarePants Spaghetti Western.
