But as much as it speaks to the disillusionment of a lost generation, 333 also abounds with theinnovation that limited resources can inspire. To set the Zeppelin III-styled pagan-campfire jamLet Go (333) in motion, Ubovich tapped out the beat with drumsticks on his pillow, whileNighttime Hidden Faces melds two completely different demos together, steering its Stereolabsynth drones into a mind-bending boogie worthy of Royal Trux. The instrumental Eye Erasermight be 333s greatest example of hermetic ingenuitywhat may have turned into a shoegazerager is instead rendered as a blissful union of brain-fogging fuzz and minimalist electro beats.Ironically, by working within a tighter lo-fi schematic on 333, Meatbodies have greatly expandedtheir palette, opening new portals to explore. And yet for all its free-ranging experimentation,333 arrives at a tidy, full-circle conclusion with the sundazed serenade, The Hero, a song thatUbovich sees as a logical bookend to the opener. As he explains: One is the id, one is thesuper-ego, Although I dont know which is which. Theyre both very sardonic and defeatist in alot of ways, but The Hero is supposed to be a little funnier, laughing at everything. Hes earnedthe right to a chuckle: For an album that wasnt supposed to exist, 333 is the ultimate testamentto Meatbodies renewed vitality.
