Wahoo
Meatbodies, fronted by Chad Ubovich (the guitarist in Mikal Cronin's touring band and namesake for their old name Chad & the Meatbodies), released a cassette last year that went unheralded and quickly out-of-print. Thankfully, In the Red has pressed two of those songs on a 7", including "Wahoo". Structurally, it recalls Ty Segall's great Melted single "Caesar"-it opens with an acoustic strum, but is later bolstered by a complementary electric guitar. Chad's voice sounds caked in fuzz and reverb, which is especially powerful when he delivers these brief, single-syllable yelps. Eventually, of course, the song gets the electric guitar solo any slow-builder of this ilk deserves. He croons, rips, and packs the song with sonic detail-a warbling sci-fi noise beneath the solo, it finishes with what sound like an old doo-wop record playing softly beneath Chad's still-trembling prolonged guitar. There's a Meatbodies LP due this year also on LA's IN THE RED!
