Just call this the indigenous, native music of Inman Square: the soundtrack to a world where there’s nothing to do but blast old vinyl, wear thrift-store clothes, pick up girls outside the coffeehouse, order Indian take-out, and hang out all weekend at the Abbey Lounge. In-joke references to all of the above occur throughout this disc, which ranks as one of the least trendy and most fun local releases of recent months. Kenne Highland has been doing his gonzo garage-rock thing around town for decades, but this is the first time he’s really caught it on disc, thanks to a hot band (which includes a couple of moonlighting Classic Ruins) and producer Erik Lindgren. Toning his usual humor down somewhat, Highland focuses on guitar-slinging and drawing on his obsessive grasp of rock history. On "Max Headroom," he lifts riffs from the Yardbirds and the 13th Floor Elevators, citing both in the writing credits. "Punjabi Dhaba" finds him free-associating over a credible (and lengthy) psychedelic jam complete with sitar. There are also plenty of yuks to be had here, including a smile-inducing cover of the Temptations’ "My Girl," which is done in the style of the Velvet Underground, and a teary break-up song that confesses, "I get so depressed I wanna wear black and listen to the Cure." "Not Too Shabby at the Abbey," which rewrites "Johnny B. Goode" and namechecks some of the Inman Square club’s more colorful personalities, is bound to be a local classic in the vein of Willie Alexander’s "At the Rat." It’s a song you can play for your grandkids if they ever ask why you spent so much time at charming, one-of-a-kind, hole-in-the-wall rock joints.
