Los Angeles has spawned the six-member Spiralmouth (four men and two women). With the exception of 'Wanna Be Startin' Somethin',' 'Come Together' (a half-time version), 'Love Is A Good Thing,' and 'Spoonman,' the CD is all original. Decidedly percussive, augmented by effects processing, the sound is big, multi-dimensional and very tight. 'Nothing Is Written' is midtempo modern rock, with enough melody to grab and enough vibe to hook. 'Hush,' (not the Deep Purple song) is a bittersweet note of goodbye, with inviting harmonies. It's a Seal meets Pearl Jam kind of party: aggressive, but emotional too. Solid songwriting.
