The band Parlovr is known for "sloppy pop", whatever the heck that is. Is that really a genre? I gather it's sort of a chaotic take on Power Pop. Judging from the write-ups, you never really know what this band is going to do or sound like. They start off with perfectly constructed pop/rock songs and then just kind of......go off. So they might be punk one night, or power pop, or D.I.Y., or....I swear I even heard a little Industrial in there. In any case, they've got a two song digital single that you can name your donation for. Donation? Yeah, all proceeds are going to AVAAZ, a non-profit dedicated to trying to narrow the gap between the world we have and the world we want. Good luck with that. The songs are oddly mesmerizing. "I'm Santa" sounds a bit like Lo-Fi Wombats music while "Spike The Eggnog" (which unfortunately for the kiddies contains some profanity) is a remarkable and spellbinding Biz Markie meets the orphans from Annie concoction that works incredibly well--much better than it should, yo. Hats off to these Montreal dudes for whatever it is this is. It's good. Download it direct from Parlovr. Don't forget to give generously for a better world. Ah, who am I kidding? Enter "0" and have at it.
