Is Koko Dozo the love child of Deee-Lite and Kudu? After listening to the tough, fun new EP from the duo of Polarity/1 and former Squeezebox house-band chanteuse Amy Douglas, one could be forgiven for thinking so. (Sun Ra may be a relative as well; the pair claim to be from another planet.) Feel the Zuzz! is undeniably a bit campy - check that cover art - but Kodo Dozo ain't no joke band. For one thing, Douglas is a legitimate belter, with a big and soulful voice that could pass for a disco diva's; for another, Polarity/1's electro productions are strutting and stomping. Perhaps most importantly, the songs themselves are tuneful little ear-borers, harking back to NYC clubland's '80s heyday these tracks would have killed at Danceteria. Bruce Ttantum

Bob Collum and the Welfare Mothers make a cool noise. How cool you ask? Well, it's kinda alt-country, a lot rock & roll, add a smidgen of folk, and a dash of blues. Stick in a potent dose of guilt, a dollop of sin, a drop of salvation (just one drop) and you have the sound these guys make. Their new EP finds the band reunited with producer Pat Collier (Soft Boys, Robyn Hitchcock) and is sure to please.
