The six tracks included in this exclusive record prove him right in his decision to change and, as do all of his songs, they show the talent Jason has when it comes to mix catchy pop tunes with brilliant lyrics about personal relationships .

The song "Bionic Hands" , that opens and gives name to the record, is a story out of a terror movie that illustrates the advantages of "the organic" vs "the synthetic", of Sprites vs Barcelona, and Jason is right again.

And, ¿Have you ever known one of those people that are obsessed with shoes? In "These shoes keep walking back to you", a classic tune in the band's live sets, Jason mixes love and footware in lyrics that ride a jumpy, close to pop-punk, rhythm. In "Love is dead", Jason pays tribute to the power pop band The Godfathers , and covers the song adapting it to fit into that Sprites sound we love so much.

It's impossible not to feel close to all the characters that Jason describes in his songs, and again it's hard not to fall for "This girl needed a dog". It's fun twist gives way to the sad side of the story of that girl that needs a friend and the song conquers you with it's great simplicity. "Tape sidetrack" manages to define the Sprites formula in less than four minutes, a formula of striking stories in simple words, sung to melodies that are right on target. Simple is beautiful, and it's fun.

I just love the records that end with a great song, with one of those songs that lingers in your mind for a long time after you've turned off your cd player. The irony behind the lyrics of "Maybe we should move to Canada", hides the grief of someone who doesn't feel comfortable with what his country has become. It's the perfect ending to this record and it comes to show that behind that apparent frivolity associated with indie pop, you can find personal reflections that are not superficial at all, as well as universal feelings that affect you as much as everyone else.
