Review

American Whip is the second album by the very good-looking couple Vincent Cafiso and Tabitha Tindale. This decadent "newgazer" pop is woozy, beautiful, and more than a little tongue in cheek, a pleasant surprise as almost every contemporary group you'll hear that displays inspiration from the British "shoegazer" movement of the 1980s totally blows. Joy Zipper has been criticized for being too referential and kitschy, but it's precisely their dark sense of humor and knowledge of perfect/ fuzzy pop of the past (MBV , Zombies , Stereolab , Association) that makes this the kind of record you want to fall in love to, at least sonically. The obvious single, "Christmas Song," is a sugary masterpiece of Symbolist post-pop: "I feel you most when I'm deep in madness/ I love you more than a thousand Christmases/ I want you more than any gift I can think of." The words are druggy but smart, and their overwhelmingly downer vibe is offset perfectly by the sunny California pop. The lyrics are the sole reason none of these songs have appeared in a Volkswagen commercial yet. --Mike McGonigal
