Despite the bad name and the horrendous album title, this Denver 11-piece’s debut is an exuberant slice of experimental indie-pop. Sounding at times like Bright Eyes with a loose orchestral bent and tendency toward atypical song structures, and at others like a blues-jazz jam band, Pee-Pee features a cornucopia of instruments and ideas that  manages to somehow retain its cohesiveness in song. The seven-minute “Madness Song (Remix)” stretches boundaries almost too far, incorporating robot vocals and strange, skittering horns, but the song’s beginning is classic: the singer’s making excuses not to answer the persistent knocking at his door, all set to acoustic guitar strum. Turns out the impatient visitor is madness. Priceless. (www.myspace.com/peepeeband)
