Idiot Garden, by The Ne'er Do Evers, is a completely different beast. The band switch between Punk ("Throwaway"), funk ("Thirteen"), blues ("You'll Think of Something"), and that non-genre that is a genre, singer-songwriter ("You Want My Heart"). Though the band does switch genres, it doesn't stop this album from feeling like, well, an album. Somewhere between the distortion and the slight, Frank Black flatness is Chris's voice, there's a signature style. The highlights on this one are "Throwaway," "Hell is Other People," "Front Row City," which sounds like J. Mascis and Lou Reed had a bastard love-child, and the very Dylanesque "BSS."
The Ne'er Do Evers are an
animated mix-tape of anger, humor and vulnerability, each emotion likely to merge into
and/or trample on the others at any moment. The Ne'ers play music that is fifty percent
heavy thoughts and fifty percent knee-jerk reactions with a sound best described as full-
on in-your-face visceral mooning, a distillation of art, alcohol and attitude not only
intoxicating but mind-numbing in a good way.

Rock and roll on Friday night looks good. Here's my final offer: I'm prepared to let you be who you ams, if that will subsequently allow you to kick out the jams. - Jon Mann

What folks are saying about Those Darlins:
"The Carter Family and Black Lips somehow channeled through three lovely, badass chicks from Tennessee." -Juan Pieczanski, Juan's Basement (Pitchfork TV)
"By the time he left Chile in 1953, Jodorowsky had a 50-person company devoted to radical ideas about theatre ("Artaud was my Bible") and a host of new ambitions. Over the next decade, Jodorowsky studied with the mime guru Etienne Decroux in Paris, mimeographed Marcel Marceau's famous "The Cage," toured the world, and directed the legendary Maurice Chevalier in the theatre."
