CD review: Hockey, Mind Chaos (with video)
Posted by Leilani Polk on Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 2:00 PM
Post-punk strut with an electro disco swagger, the music on Mind Chaos is made for dancing with too cool ‘tude. Hockey singer Ben Grubin’s smokey growl oozes Rod Stewart sexiness and he delivers his verses with cocky ease, from his back-and-forth with himself in the snotty opener, “Too Fake,” to his blasé weariness in the supple grooves of “Work,” to his flippant spoken word lyricism in the lively “3AM Spanish,” to his unselfconscious wish in “Wanna Be Black,” to his howling and crooning soulfulness in “Curse This City.”
Overall, an easy-to-like dance record by a band worthy of the buzz.
Here's the official video for "Song Away"
