Blow It Up, Burn It Down, Kick It ‘Til It Bleeds
2006
Duophonic Super 45s
The second and apparently last full Imitation Electric Piano album, Blow It Up, Burn It Down, Kick It ‘Til It Bleeds may sound like a metal record in its title but some heaviness aside it’s much more of an indie-meets-space-age pop affair, again showing unsurprising connections to Stereolab given Simon Johns’ long stint with that group. Unlike the earlier releases, here Johns concentrates on backing vocals with organist Mary Hampton taking the lead; her own bright tone adds lightness on “Tension” and the glazed drone kick of “Relatively Good Times.”
