For seven years now, Marin County's 20 Minute Loop has been working to give "quirky alt-rock" a good name again. To this end they employ mordantly witty lyrics, a synthesizer that looks pre-Cambrian, and more boy-girl contrapuntal harmony than you can shake a stick at. "Miriam Hopkins" is probably the finest single track on their third LP Yawn + House = Explosion. It's been out a while and is hardly underlinked - hello, Pitchfork - but I, for one, could listen to it every day. (Bay Areans can hear them live tonight at 12 Galaxies in SF's Mission District.)
