RATING: 4 out of 5
Songwriter Roy Ivy has a broken heart and wants the whole fucking world to know it. Le Fun chronicles a lifespan of relationships gone wrong in a Slaughterhouse 5 fashion (equal parts funny and sad). Each track is a quirky blend of SST style post-punk and indie-rock fused with 1950s pop songwriting. They are creative, catchy, melodic, a little neurotic, pop, punk as hell, and always rocking (if you can listen to this album without breaking out the air-guitar you are probably in a coma). Ivy’s nostalgia is contagious, forcing the listener to reflect on past relationships in the same warm-fuzzy, but achingly bittersweet way as watching a John Hughes movie. Pick up this record now. This is the best thing to come out of Dallas in years and embodies everything that Rock and Roll should have never strayed away from.
