The Answers To Which We Do Not Know the Questions is quite the album title for quite the record. The Guppies are a Brooklyn quartet. What else can I tell you about them? Not much, other than the album cover suggests they enjoy sitting around naked together. But I digress. These 14 songs, recorded in just two days on an 8-track Tascam, show a band with a natural gift for scrappy, garagey pop’n’roll that’s constantly shifting lanes.
The Guppies bounce from catchy punk rock to trash-country detours to surprisingly cool instrumentals. It’s quirky, it’s messy, and it’s absolutely a blast. The kind of chaos that feels less like a place to live and more like a place you’d visit just to hear wild story after wild story.
Disclaimer: to get the full Guppies experience, don’t stop after a couple of tracks—let the whole thing unspool. Cassette out now on 4 Your Ears.
