Hi!

Here is Michael Brodeur from the Weekly Dig....

Bloodbath, the opening track on the debut from Boston's own Chop Chop, is enough to make you love the whole record. Catherine Cavanaugh's soft, dry voice calmly covers the corners of her simple strumming like a nice sheet ("I used to have empathy / But not since you started a bloodbath"), while twinkling pianos evaporate in the background. It's a strange place to start, as it is the record's most austere moment (though it finds company with the pretty but bristly Every and a breathy cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart"). But starting simple makes it clear that Chop Chop has more than one play in the book. There are a surprising number of pop pleasures all over this record (which, granted, seems to run a little long), and they range from the great to the goofy. Cavanaugh's vocal curlicues in Motherfucker Been Pissing Me Off are a lot prettier than the boiled rats and tacked-up snakes she's singing about. The gnarly twee-punk of Pinched could have tumbled off a Tuscadero album; the repeating "I will always love you" that sees Lines to its close could be '95 Liz Phair meets '05 Low; and the sweet strangeness of Mixtape comes off like the Bangles disguised as Pinback. In a town packed with one-trick-pony pop, Chop Chop sounds like a parade passing by-except for that angry hypothalamus song. "
