Mannequin Pussy—Gypsy Pervert—White/Pink Mix Vinyl, New
Epic band—name aside, Mannequin Pussy really have taken an album, divisive in its nature, and used it to kick the punk game in its ass. Not every track is full-fledged punk but those that are...are punk as fuck. Half the album embeds itself in a relentless, grungy, punk themed while the other fixates in wispy, fuzzy shoegaze pop. Despite spreading their roots wide, Mannequin Pussy even things out pretty well. They even combine genres to marvelous effect on a couple tracks, which like the majority of the album, fit the taste buds nicely.
The record is front-heavy with that skate/punk sense of urgency. Most of the songs throughout are short and feel rushed in a good way. The album commences with the abrasive "Sneaky Nips" — beefed up with anger and chaos. These initial tracks are compact and dirty in terms of punk, which is all the more evident with the musical shift later on. This split down the middle is teased with "Clit Eastwood" which feels like Tarantino's shoegaze track for his new Western project. The flow into the more poppy and dreamier "Someone Like You" (and no, it's not an Adele cover) is even more seamless. It's a wonder how well they float in and out from these accessible, catchy bits to more underground punk-tastic elements. Mid-album, the continuous blasts of contemplative shoegaze do come at you pretty hard but as the texture of the record smoothens out, the changes in direction feel so natural. The transition is fully felt by the time "Meat Slave 2" rolls around with its hazed distortion. Mainstream? Yes. Garage and demo like? Still, yes. Again, Mannequin Pussy solidly juggle these acts together—and it's a grand balancing. The music is distributed beautifully—well-timed, well-paced and fitting like a puzzle.
A whirlwind of tracks comprise Gypsy Pervert as the record mixes various genres and ends with a bang. "Sheet City" mixes both sounds offered to sheer perfection and the music feels organic as tones shift with the band's emotional weight. Yet the listener is never lost. Lyrically, they never skip a beat— which builds a strong, pensive connection with the listener. While the words feel morally ambiguous amid their raw, heartfelt melodies, it's when they speed things up and unleash their anger, you feel invited to their confrontational stance. And most of all, it's inviting. — taken from punknews.org with a little bit of some much-needed editing
