Strawberry Story are yet another fuzzed-out pop band that I find myself listening to way too often. Buzzing guitars, cherub-sounding female vocals, and pleasant organs all duke it out in a cage match of twee-pic proportions. Clamming For It is a CD comp of their best material, which is comprised of a bunch of early 7" singles, splits, and flexis from various labels. While there is no particular rhyme or reason to the actual tracklisting (it's far from any chronological order,) it starts off quite strongly with "Gone Like Summer," which is one of their finest, as well as loudest, songs. The comp itself is somewhat frontloaded with 'hits,' such as "Pushbutton Head" and the beautiful "Ashland Road," though that could just be me feeling exhausted by the end of this CD. These were meant to be absorbed as singles, so when compiled together like this, the sweetness begins to wear on me, at least. Still, hits are hits and this comp has a plethora of them! Yay!
