Chick Boyd

Monster on the Campus

BY Lorraine CarpenterPublished May 1, 2001

You have to give this guy credit for being utterly twisted and unashamed. Seriously, the last track on this handmade, 21-track album is called "I Wanna Fuck My Dog." The title track recalls early Beck, but most of this isn't really comparable to, well, anything. In his sometimes grating non-voice, Boyd regales us with weird ditties to the tune of acoustic guitar, drum machines, keyboards and (possibly) synths. Call it cheap, discordant pop/folk/electronica. I can't say I'll listen to this over and over, but the fact that I'd cross the street if I saw this guy is pretty impressive on his part.
