Poor Aim: Love Songs is a CD EP that's kind of a sampler of the act's sound, or an airing out of material that doesn't have a natural home on their longer releases. Here
Blow consist of
Khaela Maricich and
Jona Bechtolt, laying down a sound that's more funk-oriented than
Blow's early recordings, though it still has a minimal electro-pop feel. The seven-song, 17-minute disc sounds a little like
the Raincoats had they gone in a more R&B-oriented direction, though not as fully produced as
the Raincoats. While the songs are more forceful and thought-out than
Maricich's early work, they're still basic, impulsive-sounding statements, and ones that might actually have a chance at popularity among more adventurous dance-pop-oriented listeners if the disc got the exposure.
