Mittens on Strings are a small gaggle of Kentucky boys who rock off-kilter pop songs that at times seem held together by thin metal wire or twine. There's a loose feel, like a pick-up session or a sing-along. Textures and instrumentation are tacked, taped and glued on to the sides as the charming songs jog past. Acoustic guitars, accordion, often understated electric guitar, drum-machine (ill-advised for this guy) and even some mandolin make the ride. Along with the off-kilter song structure come some quirky lyrics that often work well and don't bog the whole disc down. For fans of lo-fi folk-rock with pretty flourishes and a wee bit of dark thrown in. Ignoring a cut or two that are overly-quirky you've got a strong disc of late-nite, summery, alt.-country-ish/indie-pop sounds that are sure please.
