Yeti 2012 Apocalypse

Hobby Model is another catchy song about the ladies. This sounds like the kind of track that would be released as a hot summer single back when people still listened to radio stations. The bouncing rhythm is just too easy to dance along to. Add to that just the right amount of spring in Shael’s step as he belts out the words and you have a hit. If the group ever works up enough money to make a music video, I demand it be this song.

As mentioned before, the lyrics are a clever series of well placed references coupled with Shael’s own odd descriptions and metaphors. All of this encircles a young woman, who, as the title states, is a hobby model. Despite the arguments of onlookers, Shael defends that a hobby model is still a model. This song reminds me of earlier track Publishing Rights in that Shael can take simple, mundane, and cliche lines, and make them his own. He’s at a point now where it seems he can sell you anything if he sings about it just right. I never thought I would love a song in which a rhyme ends with “ass crack” but here we are. Thanks again Shael Riley.

I decided to not include lyrics this time because I don’t understand tumblr. You can read them here. Oh yeah, and while you are on his bandcamp page, buy the album. If he gets rich enough, maybe he can start paying me off for these stellar reviews I’m handing out. My integrity has a price, and it is not much.
