Quick, Before It Melts.

Every so often, there comes a song that slowly but surely creeps its way into your unconscious mind and plants itself there, growing roots into your cranium and laying claim to part of your mental real estate. The Oohlas "Small Parts" has done just the very thing to me. I found myself humming/singing/remembering snippets of the song this week, but couldn't remember who it was by or even what it was called. All I knew is that it was on my iPod, and gosh darn it, I liked it.

Visiting the band's Myspace page says that they sound like "monkeys flinging poo" but I say they sound like hard candy--you have to get your jaw working and muscles flexing to break through to the chewy core, but the sweet lingering taste of the outer shell stays with you for awhile. There's a whole album worth of sonic confectionery coming soon (on Stolen Transmission), so for now taste this sample and enjoy.
