Bus Route to Your Heart

In mid 1997, Milky Wimpshake broke new ground with its first CD, Bus Route to Your Heart. Doubling the recorded MW corpus, the album acknowledged influences, redid some earlier tunes and had plenty of new tracks. The production values and guitar driven songs mark this as a turn toward the power pop, pulled off with aplomb. Still, the humble self-reflection and clever rhymes (“Queens/refried beans/Lebanese”) of early Wimpshake are not gone. Also, bilingual action!
