Edison Orange's "Flour Shortage" starts out sounding sort of like Pixies if they made bubblegum pop - that ba-ba-ba-bass, stiffly rhythmic guitar and thudding drums sounding brighter than Black Francis probably would've liked. About a minute in, a certain No Doubt flavor (including horns) kicks in, and Edison Orange's mission statement is made pretty clear. This is about alternative music, man, not that lame indie pap. This is the music the badass girl would blare from her car stereo in the '90s teen movie. It is the kind of music that Janeane "Evian is ‘naïve' backwards" Garofalo would like, well, anytime. Sometimes it gets loud, but there's a sweet underbelly to Edison Orange that begs to be adored by a teenage badass - if one still exists.
