I guess I\u2019m especially drawn to the pounding-heartbeat, thundering drums on each track. The silly lyrics and catchy chant on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fhBfMxylu_I\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cMosquito\u201d<\/a> are great, too ( \u201cOh, oh mosquito, stay here with me \/ because you carry the blood of my love\u201d). These 12 songs are lighthearted and fun, with falsettos, synth-zigzagging, and swaying choruses, yet still managing to carry sincere messages. Never has garage rock sounded so theatrical, unfussy, and fun, while being wonderfully arranged. All in all, a great mood booster and soundtrack to fun times. You\u2019ll be surprised at how quickly <em>Eponymous <\/em>makes it to your most played list.
