Both tunes were recorded during the sessions that produced "Crocodiles," the Manikins' latest and greatest long-player, and like the songs that comprised the album, everything clicks. It's tough to dismiss the appeal of "The Start For Me" and "Let Me Go": tight hooks, equal parts power and pop, with a bright, prickly edge; both are certifiably hummable. When it came time to mix down, the Manikins set off these tunes from the LP by employing a vintage Telefunken tape recorder, giving these two great pop songs a bit more pop. Weasel Walter mastered this single so it sounds like it means business, and the band's longtime art guru, Jonas Norway, dressed up the sleeve nicely as usual. Pressed on Baltic Sea-colored vinyl, limited to 500 copies.<br /><br />The Manikins on MySpace: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/therealmanikins">www.myspace.com/therealmanikins</a><a><br /><br /><b>::::::::::</b><br /><br /><img src="http://www.plasticidolrecords.com/images/crashnormalmyspace.gif" width="250" height="250" /><br /><br /><b>CRASH NORMAL "Flying to NY" b/w "Hairy Wine 2" 7" (PIR-037)</b><br />Paris, France's Crash Normal is prepared to own 2009 with a flurry of releases, led by this dandy of a single. The showstopping duo of Jerome and Vincent continue to do what they do best: smash the rock 'n' roll "box" and glue its pieces back together however they see fit. The result is a dynamic discography, ranging from blown-out garage-isms to electro-infused bleeps, yet it all sounds like it fits into a bigger picture. On this single, Crash Normal sounds leaner, and perhaps meaner, than they have in a while. "Flying to NY" was originally earmarked for another release, but we loved it so much that we had to stake our claim to it as the A-side (we think you'll approve). "Hairy Wine 2" is Ben Wallers worship in the form of an impeccably rendered COUNTRY TEASERS tune. Mastered by Weasel Walter, sleeve art by Kerozen. Pressed in a limited edition of 650 copies.<br /><br />Crash Normal on MySpace: </a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/crashnormal">www.myspace.com/crashnormal</a><br /><br /><b>::::::::::</b><br /><br /><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LnBsYXN0aWNpZG9scmVjb3Jkcy5jb20=">www.plasticidolrecords.com</a>
