Jemina Pearl - "I Hate People"

HANK ALTOGETHER:

Part of Be Your Own Pet's charm wasn't just the thrashy YYYs punky style. It was Jemina Pearl's ability to take a seemingly simple adolescent relationship and turn it into a murderous rampage. In her solo career, we can only pray that this continues. The first taste from Pearl's debut solo LP Break It Up (out 9/10), "I Hate People" is an enchanting little ditty taking off a 60s pop sound and grinding into your leg like that first time you dry humped a girl. Using the naif tune to bolster an ode to outsidership and independence isn't just tongue in cheek, it's a pretty rewarding feature and Iggy Pop's creepy older guy vocals just add to the delicious weirdo bizarro-ness. If there's one thing that we need these days it's more folks being weird. Good thing Jemina Pearl's around to celebrate it and put down those who aren't.
