Zen Boy & Karma Girl – Who They Are And How They Came To Be – CD
(Zen Boy & Karma Girl) I expected this bizarre duo to have a really crappy disc. Unfortunately, this one’s pretty good. Their chosen band image is bizarre and embarrassingly so. They apparently want people to believe that they’re from outer space, but they sadly don’t have anything in common with Sun Ra. However, as I’ve said, the CD is pretty good, with surprisingly crisp, lush sound that never is irritating to listen to. The songs are somewhat lacking and repetitive, but on the whole, it’s nice soft-rock/alt.folk music, with interesting sounds and perfectly pitched vocal harmonies. But why try to harm their own thing with awful, patchouli-smelling names and a stupid made-up backstory?
