It’s ok because Chai

 

 

I am allergic to the militant positivism that’s rampant in this global crisis, “toxic positivism” is the term I believe, but Chai’s happy message I really appreciate. These women seem as authentic as one can get and their carefree but caring attitude is infectious. There’s also a certain shameless awkwardness that no other act that I know has and I find it irresistable.

Musically Chai is nothing short of amazing. It may seem simple and uncomplicated, but it’s really very intricately composed with different layers of sound, rhythm, melody and mood interlocking like a musical Rube Goldberg machine.

And there’s a new album coming this May so something to look forward to! Meanwhile, if you haven’t yet, check out their other albums especially Punk, because it’s really brilliant. These women make fun music and know how to write a melody, which is rarer than you may think. (PB)
