Bruce Haack - Together
Monday, July 8, 2013 at 10:48PM 5.0 - Canada - 1971
Yeah, it’s a kids’ record, but Haack synthy oddness is worth hearing. Opener “Maybe This Song” is actually a fine pop song; its naïve lyrics written for infants are no worse than the hippie music of the day. In fact, the fact that it’s a kids’ song makes its innocent naïvete genuine rather than the lame affectations of drugged-up bourgeois protest-kids (I’m looking at you, Nash). Elsewhere, “Colours” meditates melodically on synthaesthesia AND the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, and a robot is ordered around in “OK Robot”. Otherwise forgettable.
