...This brilliance is not quite captured in their debut album, The King Lost His Pink, which was evidently recorded in haste (for some excruciating moments the live favorite "Head to Toe" is actually out of tune) and without the benefit of a seasoned producer. Chochukmo's fan base will cut them slack - such is the band's fey, disheveled charm - but a less breathless follow-up is plainly needed.

In the America I grew up in, we order perfume by the quart just because it's made by Ernest Borgnine's fifth wife. We are almost as eager to buy stuff from celebrities as Borgnine is to get married...
