"You might have heard this group and not even know it. Their track "Swamp" is in the current Hummer TV commercial. Midwest Product is a trio out of Ann Arbor, MI, which is also where their label Ghostly is located. They are one of the best current bands out there that combines rock and electronic music. One of their strengths is that they combine their diverse range of styles into one unified sound. They also put on a killer live show. Their first record, Specifics, was all instrumental, but this one has lead vocals on a few tracks. Recommended if you like New Order, The Postal Service, Kraftwerk, Devo, Tortoise, or Prince."

Gotta see it to believe

"I had never heard of Midwest Product but a friend invited me to a show featuring midwest band "Calliope" and of course "Midwest product". When Midwest Product came on stage they shook the foundations. The cool collected symetry of thier studio music explodes onstage in a funk-filled blowout of electrolosis set to beats and live instrumentation that cannot be rivaled. "the 80's are back" my friend stated as they closed with a robotic but amazing cover of "when doves cry". As everyone reading reviews loves to compare artists, imagine that Mum and Mogwai were swallowed whole and spit back out again by Devo and Emperor Penguin. for starters. truth be told there is no comparison, so buy a copy for yourself and check them out live if they're around!"
