Cub is the best. They are more than the sum of their parts and if you are not a fan of indiepop or pop punk their intelligence, wit and songcraft may not be obvious. If you’ve never heard them at all, I’m not sure whether this or Come Out, Come Out would be the place to start.
Put it this way – when Cub opened for Sebadoh on their Bakesale tour (or at least in Detroit) I felt like the stars were aligning just for me. They are not twee. Or cuddlecore. Belle and Sebastian and Bunnygrunt are twee. Lunchbox is cuddlecore. Cub just did their thing and didn’t give a fuck whether you took it or left it. I know it’s hard to tell the difference but I said it anyway.
yr favorite ‘fork sez:
Cub tighten up as a band still more for Come Out Come Out without losing their appealing simplicity, thanks in part to increasingly confident songwriting. Having a full-time drummer, Lisa G., probably also helped. The reissue tacks on an alternate version of adorable watching-you-sleep song “Your Bed”, a silly live version of “Cast My Shadow”, a sillier radio rendition of the debut’s “My Chinchilla”, and an, uh, ambient-house mix of early song “Go Fish”, but the original full-length itself still stands as one of the better twee-pop albums from an era that also brought us great material from the Pastels, the Softies, Rocketship, Tullycraft, and others. “New York City” captures the joy of being young and in love in a big city, with fuzz-tone guitars and girl-group melodies, while organ-accented “Everything’s Geometry” goes for jangly guitars but fuzzy math: “If 1 is 3 and 3 is 9, then we can be happy all of the time.” Here, pumpkins turn into princesses, and a “flaming red bobsled” can be a thing of menace. A closing Go-Go’s cover, “Vacation”, is as deceptively exuberant as you’d expect.
The album takes a darker turn on songs like bloodstained “Life of Crime”, but it never loses its spirit of fun. Where Betti-Cola seems assured of the modern ideal of romantic love, Come Out Come Out interjects playfully self-aware anxiety next to the giddiness of tra-la-la love songs like “I’m Your Angel”. On “Tomorrow Go Away”, Marr sings (with some irony): “We never talk of love/ ‘Cause I’m much too cool for that now/ And you fuck me on the floor/ ‘Cause there’s no room for a bed… We eat lunch with your parents while you’re wishing I was dead.” It’s been said that you can reason someone into believing in God, but you can’t reason them out of it, and I wonder if it’s the same way with true love: Once you’ve taken that leap of faith, does everything change? Bad as they may have wanted to be, Cub landed squarely on the side of the angels. And that’s totally punk rock.
