As recording equipment has gotten cheaper and computer music recording programs have gotten more affordable and sophisticated, the sheer amount of newly-sprung kitchen-recording studio enthusiasts has proliferated beyond all expectations. Now, anyone can make their own bedroom pop CDs and many do, unleashing their lo-fi loony-pop creations on an unsuspecting world, all looking to be labeled genius and take over Brian Wilson's role as eccentric songwriter extraordinaire. While all these wannabe's fall short, Elliott has a style that I like, long on melody and crafty lyrics. Sure, there's plenty of weirdness here but enough solid songwriting to let me think that Elliott could do a real bang up job if given some money and some real studio time. Not Brian Wilson, of course, but not bad.

...If one-man acts playing and singing all the parts on highly textured, quirky indie rock songs are your scene (somewhat in the manner of several acts in the cassette underground in the 1980s and 1990s), though, George Elliott's worth checking out. This CD is billed to "the re-electrified GE," the re-electrification being his use of a Danelectro 12-string guitar. These really are miniatures, given that the 18 songs add up to 32-and-a-half minutes, in which Elliott flashes his facility for both reasonably engaging pop songs and instrumental mood pieces. There's a mini-symphonic feel to the arrangements, though also a playfulness to the odd combinations of whistles, folky guitar strums, electronically coated riffs, whimsical melodies, and the plaintive singing...
