This is a new feature for Clone Sound, where once a week I'll be compiling links & blurbs from whichever reviews I've had published.
Toadies - No Deliverance (Kirtland; 2008)
Yup, it's those Toadies - the ones who scored the 90s alterna-rock hit with "Possum Kingdom" ("I will treat you well/my sweet angel/so help me jeeeeesus"). Back from the dead with a new release. One-track minded grunge-metal, but really not bad as a reminder that Toadies were far better than, say, the also-recently-reunited Candlebox.
Score: 70/100

Naked Music - Recreation (Naked Music; 2008)
Victory lap release for the smooth silky sounds of Naked Music, the label that's brought us the creamy dub house of Miguel Migs, and a bunch of breathy lounge-house divas. As jacuzzi house goes, this is pretty good, and it's certainly miles better than (shudder) electro-house.
Score: 6/10
Full Review at PopMatters
So, pretty light this week, but a lot coming down the pike - expect Mercury Rev, Kenny Larkin, Sasha, Starfucker, and The Adventure in the next fortnight.
