That's always a good idea — naming your band after a Guided By Voices song (Echos Myron is the best track on Bee Thousand) — because it's a sign that the band members listen to music you also appreciate. And maybe even get inspired by them, like Robert Pollard has been an inspiration for hundreds of bands. Constant Exposure doesn't really sound like Guided By Voices (except on Hersickness), but their method of playing the songs really does, with a lo-fi and old-school style. So everything stays in its original state on the album, an effect that's aided by the fact that five songs are recorded in their producer's room. The band claims to have used an average of 40 tracks per song, perhaps explaining the continual accommodation of many different instruments throughout. Piano and saxophone add a firm dose of soul to the opening pop song Read Me Rona. And Under Your Gown is so relaxed because of all different kinds of copper, and an organ touch. Even though there is much diversity to be found on Constant Exposure, the fresh sound and the thin singing, even though sometimes too soft, makes it compact. But the highlight has to be mentioned: Psychological Peepshow is not only a cool title, but also a very nice pop song with some Beatleseque influences. Still interested? Well, they're on the Grond label (from The Hague), who believes that all music should be free at first, and, after listening, people can decide if they want to purchase the record or not. So surf to www.grond.org, and do check out the sympathetic Echos Minor debut, because they are, together with Club Diana and Gloricz Jim, most likely to move up from the Dutch underground.
