 Emperor Norton Records :: Artist :: call and response
After heading out to Athens, Georgia to play the Kindercore 2000 Expo music festival, the quintet set up shop in the college rock music mecca to record their self-titled album with studio help from Olivia Tremor Control's Bill Doss and Of Montreal's Derek Almstead.
Like California dreams for intellectual adults who were once children weaned on Saturday morning cartoons and summers spent in suburban backyards listening to AM radio, the music of Call and Response (C.A.R.) draws from the spirit of the past, but with the savvy smirk of the future.
Beautifully capturing C.A.R's harmonic sensibilities as well as their inherent groove and soul, the Kindercore album quickly won the band comparisons to everyone from give-in 60s/70s pop influences like The Free Design and The Carpenters to contemporary vintage synth heads like Stereolab and Air.

 Creative Loafing Atlanta COVER DANCE THIS DUSTY MESS AROUND
Old-time scenesters, downtown Athens developers and curators at the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Macon all want to be the bones-keeper of the relics from the time when Athens was celebrated around the world as "The Land of a Thousand Dances." As with most such conflicts, everyone has a point.
Maureen McGinley, who managed the B-52's when they first began and now works as a jury-selection consultant, says that after a lull in the early 1990s, the original impulse that made Athens the hotbed of American music in the '70s and '80s seems to have returned.
"There's a lot of stuff to be collected and catalogued," says Art Jackson, head of the Athens Downtown Development Authority, which has spearheaded one of the museum efforts.
