"Cool dark underground pop. The Prids are led by the ex-husband and wife team of David Frederickson and Mistina Keith (the two still share a home even though they untied the knot). The tunes on ...Until the World is Beautiful might best be described as vibration pop. Instead of tossing off cutesy melodies and/or blowing away listeners with volume, Frederickson and Keith seem content to create grooves and vibes with their music...just allowing things to happen. The accidental elements in the music make it most appealing. That plus the exceptional vocals that are always subdued and low in the mix. The band is rounded out by Eric Hold (keyboards) and Joey Mass (drums). These people are doing everything right...making music out of a pure love of doing so. This is obvious from the tunes on this album. Killer tracks include "The Glow," "Like Hearts," "Forever Again," and "Infection." Genuinely entertaining." (Rating: 5+)
