There is an awesome article in this week's Metro Times about our friends, Dorkwave where we got an honorable mention regarding Noise Tank (lovesyou), the release party, and the state of things.

...The event is being put on by Focus Media, a new Detroit label that the Dorkwavers stand behind. The label just released a four-song EP called Glee, Ad Nauseam, And How It All Works Out by Noise Tank (lovesyou). One of the titles is “Rabbits Dead, Easter Day.” The press release describes the genre as “Spaz-Pop” and offers the slogan, “music so happy you’ll vomit rainbows.” It’s all a bit cheeky, naughty, smart, engaging; with a talent for self-caricature and group-promotion that echoes the lessons learned (and shared) by their elder champions in Dorkwave.

The folks at the party look comfortably silly in bunny outfits or wearing Dad’s (or Granddad’s?) suits from the JFK era. Some of the girls are hopping (of course) to the music, which is a mish-mash of electro, indie rock, drill ’n’ bass and psychedelic pop. Doyle heads back to the decks. He lights a cigarette and lets it dangle from his lips as he searches for records and CDs. Allow yourself to imagine it’s Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, circa 1995, dragging on that fag. At the moment, the resemblance is that striking. The magnetic Servito is approached by one person after another and greeted warmly. Ozias and Theakston walk into another room where drinks are being served by a fat kid dressed like a pink rabbit. They get the attention of a couple of photographers, who turn their heads when they come in. Everyone seems to know, or sense, that Dorkwave is in the house. They have star quality; or is it anti-star quality? Doesn’t matter. Their presence has changed the mood of the party, which now starts to swing upward. The kids are not vomiting rainbows, not yet, anyway. But you sense they will be before the long night is over.
