Charlie Slick – A Farout Indian LP (self-released)

I keep thinking about that latest Louis C.K. special whenever this one comes up (“Wait, you’re not Indians? AHHHHH, you’re Indians!”) and it really ruins whatever spirit this record can dredge up. The loose concept here – a literal Native American caricature, lost in Michigan – is represented through flashy, artificial electro-funk, ready for the frat houses of Ann Arbor, that’ll make your genitals atrophy in embarrassment over whitey pulling another fast one. RUINER. This college town Chromeo bullshit can go get fucked in the eye. (http://charlieslick.bandcamp.com)
