Chocolate Factory

Chocolate Factory 45 Minutes Out of 3 Years LP

While I wasn’t impressed by their debut single, this album is really something to crow about. Strip down to a hard-edged bluesy sound, all the songs have that really fervent sound similar to DMZ/LYRES. Very cool.

Chocolate Factory Renée EP

Ya think it’s gonna be ’60s? How’d ya know? Anyway, three of the four tracks are pretty decent at that, the best one (“Renée”) sounding like an outtake from the VELVETS’ first LP.
