The mp3 albums "Tinglegroove" and "Broken Meats" and these mp3 Maxi-Singles exclusively at Soundclick.com




Intelligent, emotional, brutal, beautiful: "Broken Meats" showcases basic alternative/pop rock developed out of traditional rock, pop, gospel, classical, folk, jazz, blues, world music and avante garde approaches. It is apparent that Chadbourne knows what he wants and knows how to get it across. There is more than a good tune in these songs. Chadbourne exhibits a philosphy behind his music, lyric and arrangements which broadens the meaning of popular music.




Melody, harmonics and atmosphere are cleverly developed so that the music has a familiarity without being trite or cliche. Curiously fresh, Chadbourne's sense of melody is remarkable for its ability to stay with the listener. Lyrics are playful, intelligent and have a brutal emotional and intellecutal honesty, with wit and insight in a humorous sense. The rhythmic sensibilities range from primal pounding to a fluidity that delights and suprises at the least expected moment.



"Broken Meats" is a showcase of the history of pop music presented in a fresh intimate way. Listeners have described the album as "intensely intimate" and as an "exposed inner private world shared without reservation".

Chadbourne's influences spans the entire spectrum. He acknowledges his earliest influences at his website with notable information on Ron Dante, Burton Cummings and the Guess Who and his deep admiration for the works of Morrissey.



"Broken Meats" has produced an incredible 9 number one tracks and several cross over hits. Spanning genres, the singles "Love Has Sinned Against Me", "Widow Walk", "It Only Hurts When You Laugh", "Cross My Heart And Hope To" , "Graveyard","At Loggerheads", "Brutalities", "ctrl.alt.del." and"Trash It!" have spent over an incredible combined total of 1200 weeks at Number One and the cd has been downloaded over a quarter million times from over 110 different countries so far.
