Morningwood – MORNINGWOOD – Capitol

Morningwood CD coverMorningwood’s album mixes up retro punk and new wave sound with the attitude of a garage band. Lead singer Chantal Claret has a voice that recalls the Go-Gos, Joan Jett, and Pat Benatar, though the music itself is more grunge than the clean, no-frills sound of the eighties (except for maybe Televisor). The biggest flaw with this album is the lyrics, which aren’t humorously inane enough to be punk nor meaningful enough to be good rock. The guitar and percussion-driven music itself is great, especially with repeat listening. Nth Degree is perhaps the most pop of the tracks. It has a catchy tune and a strong dance beat, and Claret’s spelling out of Morningwood’s name at the end is oddly addictive, much like a commercial jingle.
