Quirky Is As Quirky Does

If you've ever wondered what Liz Phair would sound like had she gone the twee route, California's own, Chop Chop, quite probably are the band for you. But really, what would you expect from a band whose poster was featured prominently in a promo piece for CBS' "How I Met Your Mother?"

Confused? Well, the band's latest, Screens, probably isn't going to make things any clearer, but that doesn't detract from the engaging quirkiness the band displays by the bushel. Lead singer Catherine Cavanagh has something hypnotic in her voice, kind of like your favorite flavor of cough syrup. Some people might decry it as bad for you, but we both know better, don't we? It's that kind of indie-goodness that you really need to get out of bed on a rainy day. With each additional sip, you're going to find yourself just a bit more addicted, but seriously, what's a little addiction between friends? Chop Chop want to be your friends. I say indulge them.
