Twee Kitten review of Death By Chocolate
by Keith Mclachlan
This is what the Lollipop Train should have been. Why then was it not? I suppose the same people responsible for this record are the ones who seemingly rushed through the LT one. Not that this is all that different, each record is dominated by a snotty 19 year old girl skatting her way through stream of consciousness popular culture referencing backed by somewhat hip-sounding jazzscapes that wouldn't be out of place in any single episode of 'I Dream of Genie'. And owing much to its utter contempt for convention this record is really very clever if, as fogies might complain, not all that musically stimulating. The power of personality and gimmick then, I didn't grow up during the original heyday of this sort of coctail goof-pop so for me it has all the appeal of a novelty act much the same way the rest of the world laps up 'Who Let the Dogs Out?'. Your toes can't be contained and merrily tap along while you can't but help to be listening intently and finding yourself paying very strict attention as Ms. Tillet carefully constructs her audio teenscapes with great detail and arrangement and delectability. Food is very much the centerpiece here, almost treated as a narcotic much the same way Bad Dream Fancy Dress once paraded its glory in pop song. With another brilliant record I continue to recognize that Siesta records is quickly fashioning, in my record collection, a sort of personal disneyworld with new fantastic discoveries revealed with every new release.
