There’s nothing better in chilly, rain-soaked weather than, well, an album that will remind you of the sun-drenched days of summer. Sexy-N-Lean, from the artist known as DOTMIG, functions as the most invigorating alternative to these gloomy times. While the modern-rock airwaves are packed from top to bottom with the black-clad and manic depressive, DOTMIG delivers a funny, toe-tapping romp with speaker-blowing guitars and positively good times.
Even better, DOTMIG never sticks to just one style; the amount of musical variety of Sexy-N-Lean gives the CD additional reasons for repeated spins. You’ll never get tired of it because DOTMIG has enough creativity to fill several records and not just one. “333 River Street” is the kind of punk singalong that you’d imagine the mosh pits going wild to at CBGB’s. It’s a blast of energy and party-animal enthusiasm that sounds best cranked in the car at high speed. The title track is exactly what you’d expect, a classic FM rocker with a good-natured sense of humor. You’ll find yourself humming it long after its played. But then DOTMIG stuns us with the blues and country stylings of “Dive Bar” and the adult-alternative feel of the lovely “She’s Lying.”
The production is crisp and clear with hooks galore throughout the album.
