Customer Reviews of Hamster
Sweet, Cool, and Eclectic This record is like a big triple-scoop ice cream cone - drippy at times, but a sweet, cool mix of flavors. Though ranging in style from groovy go-go to hip-hop reggae to mellow rock, most of the songs are in some way homages to American and British pop from the sixties and seventies, with a lurking Beach Boys influence. (One of tracks is written by a member of Brian Wilson's back-up band.)
The lyrics are nothing great, but there are a few gems. "Baseball & Elvis Presley" is a wonderful tune about a box of toys and the innocence of childhood, while the title track is a cute and funny song about life as a hamster!
Chocolat's voice is rather thin and airy but fits the mood of the songs, and her English rendition of Janis Ian's "At Seventeen" is a bit muddled. Also, keep your ears open for some funny sound effects -- rhythm based on a bouncing ping-pong ball, chirping crickets beneath guitar power chords, a goofy answering-machine message, and one too many samples of scratched vinyl LPs (nineties retro?).
"Hamster" is a pure summer record. If it's summer right now, it's a great soundtrack for strolling along a sunny, breezy beach. And if you're in the middle of a dreary winter (as I am currently), curl up with a hot cup of cocoa, and let your mind wander as you wait for the sun.
Sweet sounds with Chocolat
If you like J-pop, you should like this album. It's light and fun, but less commercial than the usual fare. The artist has a nice voice (she can actually sing), and most of the songs are quick and poppy. There are also a couple of karaoke ballad types. All songs but one are in Japanese. With help from Trattoria's Hideki Kaji, and also Yoshinori Sunahara. Check it out!
