proof of concept

Wow. I think I found Alizarin's direct spiritual ancestor. This guy sounds exactly like an amalgam of every snarky, self-important critic I drew upon to create the miserable mongoose. I should've known I could just go to Pitchfolk Media and get it straight from the tap.

Your typo is making me imagine Pitchfolk, where all the indie kids wrinkle their noses and call Bob Dylan too commercial.

I've never quite understood exactly what "twee" music was;

Off-the-top disclaimer of ignorance: *sip*

...Guther seem to have spent their time perfecting just one song.

*sip*

If their intent is for I Know You Know to function as the shopping soundtrack for The Gap or Buckle, or that flagship of trust-fund suburban style Abercrombie and Fitch,

Mocking three chain stores and suburban life: *glug*

then I can't talk shit,

Cussing: *sip*

...you wonder why masterer Stefan Betke inserted the 2 seconds of silence between "Taglieben" and the equally wispy "Trouble You Cause".

"I don't like this type of music, and I don't care enough about this review to do any real research, but hey, I read the liner notes." *sip*

The song titles contain more pronouns than you can possibly imagine ("You", "What She Felt", "We Walk"-- get the picture?), Trend-spotting among titles: *sip ( ... )
