The sophomore solo album from Mu330’s Dan Potthast - the first was “Eyeballs” - is a collection of 15 tracks that are quite unlabelled. Described as a cross between Mu330 and Weezer, I guess that Dan’s music can be best described as rock, or pop rock if you like labels, and “Sweet And Meats” is here to prove it. The songs are mosly acoustic, slow and passionate, even tough you can hear electric guitars and such stuff, the best part of the album is the “positive” feeling you can feel, ason “How To Suffer”. Such tracks as “They’re Telling”, “The Letter”,”Tornado Joe” show the open mind of Potthast, who is able to put on just one album so many influences that go from rocksteady ro reggae to ska to acoustic rock’n'roll to blues. I think that if you’re looking for quality music, “Sweets And Meats” is a good way to start. | carlo@staff.truepunk.com
