Echo Kid

(Fat Possum)

Jonas Stein, former Be Your Own Pet guitarist/drummer, continues to spread the garage rock love with Turbo Fruits. The band's second full-length, Echo Kid, is good and feisty, albeit uneven. Taken together, the songs are like scattered puzzle pieces. Some of the album is raw-power rock ("Trouble!", "Mama's Mad Cos I Fried My Brain"); some of it's cute college pop ("Naked With You"). I didn't connect with this record like I did with the Generationals' and Vivian Girls' efforts. Fun, but doesn’t live up to the buzz.
