One of the best bands I’ve heard lately is Memphis’ MouseRocket, one in a long line of bands Alicja Trout has been in. She’s probably most well-known as Jay Reatard’s colleague (and partner) in Lost Sounds, but I’ve also appreciated her work in CC Riders. MouseRocket’s first album came out on Empty Records in 2004 (check out the cover “Little Black Egg” below) with a follow-up on Tic Tac Totally in 2008, called Pretty Loud.
