Information<\/em> CD
\nMute America, 1995<\/p>\n

\"\"Patrick McGoohan<\/strong>, the writer, director, and star of one of the best television shows ever<\/em>, The Prisoner<\/em><\/a>, died earlier this week, so I felt the need to hear, and share with you, this amazing indie band from mid-1990s Atlanta. The Prisoner<\/em> was a fantastic British cult TV series from\u00a01960s that was part James Bond and part Twilight Zone<\/em>, with the premise being a retired secret agent being imprisoned on a bucolic island with a bizarre social order and an oddly surreal, tightly controlled village. Toenut, who’s unfortunate name may have been party responsible for their ultimate obscurity, entitled their debut album Information<\/em> in reference to a quote from The Prisoner<\/em>, and even includes samples from the show. After years of loving this album, I saw The Prisoner<\/em> for the first time and had an “a-ha!” moment realizing what all the weird Brit quotes were about. Musically, they take some Pixies<\/strong>-style indie rock and tweak it with some oddball Beefheart<\/strong>ian twists and ethereal female vocals ala The\u00a0Cocteau Twins <\/strong>that makes for a fun listen.<\/p>\n
