Lunchbox at Did Not Chart
It seems too strong to say that Lunchbox have been written out of history simply because they were never in it. They wouldn’t have existed without Rocketship – whose jubilant keyboards and punchy guitar riffs inform Lunchbox’s moves – who themselves haven’t even got into the history books. But Lunchbox Loves You, their 5th album,… Continue reading Lunchbox at Did Not Chart
Throwing Muses, Hobbes Fanclub, Joanna Gruesome, Lunchbox, Fishboy, Primitives at Tuning Into the Obscure
The Hobbes Fanclub – Up At Lagrange – Shelflife Records – LP/CD Hazy and dreamy guitars and vocals gives this album a sort of hot, hazy and lazy summer feel, which for me is just perfect. It’s refreshing and relaxing at the same time, without compromising on songwriting or quality. It definitely fits in with Shelflife’s vast… Continue reading Throwing Muses, Hobbes Fanclub, Joanna Gruesome, Lunchbox, Fishboy, Primitives at Tuning Into the Obscure
Lunchbox at Dagger
I’ve always liked this Bay Area indie pop trio (well, husband/wife of Tim and Donna and then whomever on drums…at one time it was my old pal Shannon Handy….this record is mostly just Tim and Donna though) but never went ape-crazy over ‘em like a lot of my pals did. Well, this record is where… Continue reading Lunchbox at Dagger
Lunchbox at Polaroid
Il nome dei Lunchbox non lo sentivo da un pezzo. Mi richiama alla memoria un periodo a cavallo tra i Novanta e i Duemila in cui cominciavo a cercare indiepop in Rete, e scoprivo per caso i primi mp3 legali su Epitonic o la prima versione di Emusic. Era un’epoca pre-Pitchfork, di NME già ci… Continue reading Lunchbox at Polaroid
Lunchbox at Whisperin and Hollerin
This lovely blood red vinyl arrived with a press release stating that due to Jigsaw Records’ unorthodox practices this album doesn’t have a fancy Press release. So I have decided to review this album using the unorthodox practice of entirely making up my own fictitious back story for Lunchbox and the album Lunchbox Loves you… Continue reading Lunchbox at Whisperin and Hollerin
Lunchbox at babysue
Cool underground guitar pop from Seattle, Washington’s Lunchbox. The folks in this band eventually changed their name to Birds of California…but then opted to change their name back to Lunchbox. Smart move…cuz we love the band name (it sure fits the music). There’s so much overprocessed music in the world today. Perhaps that’s why the tunes on this album are so… Continue reading Lunchbox at babysue
Lunchbox at Atlas and the Anchor
Lunchbox – “Tom, What’s Wrong?” (Now a duo, Tim Brown and Donna McKean recently returned with Lunchbox Loves You, their first album in over ten years. Released on Jigsaw Records, the excellent new album is a sugar rush of fuzzed-out 60’s bubblegum-inspired dreampop with jangly guitars, bursts of bright horns and strings and insanely catchy melodies reminiscent… Continue reading Lunchbox at Atlas and the Anchor
Lunchbox at When You Motor Away
Listening to Lunchbox Loves You can be compared to opening an actual lunchbox packed by your mother without consulting you beforehand. You know that your mother loves you, because she is your mother. You know that Oakland, California’s Lunchbox loves you, because they told you so in the title to the album.Lunchbox Loves You . But the core question is… Continue reading Lunchbox at When You Motor Away
