Artist: Eggplant
Album: I Believe In The Loch Ness Monster 7"
Release: 1996
Label: Pop Candy
Tracklist:
1. No, I Don't Need The Change
2. No Hard Feelings
3. For You (I'd Build A Church)
I was one of those who fell head over heels for Eggplant when Adam originally posted their partial discography. Well here's the last little link- their one-sided 7", filled with fast-paced indie pop.
You'll recognize the first track "No, I Need the Change" from the Eggplant full-length, Catboy/Catgirl. Adam mentioned that he had been cautioned that some of the band's later material had adopted some "speed-punk" qualities. Well, I'm not really sure what that means in the world of wimpiness, but I think Eggplant's relative velocity is part of why I love them. Not like some of the super weighted down C86 stuff that gets pretty boring at times. And "No, I Need the Change" ranks among their faster paced songs and one of my favorites. "For You (I'd Build a Church)" keeps the same speed, but doesn't quite have the same pop behind it as some of Eggplant's earlier releases. Both it and "No Hard Feelings" chug along- good twee songs, but not the kind that might get stuck in your head for hours on end.
While I Believe In The Loch Ness Monster is certainly not their best release, Eggplant stick to what they do best-- three short and sweet pop songs, and I'm content to eat them up.
