Ooh I liked this album about 2 songs in on first listen! originalljudet are a bunch of Swedish musicians who play the following instruments... saxophones, bass, accordion, electronics, tuba, brainwave, sough machines, drumchairs, piano and crappy percussion they ruff and twisted melancholy, limping polskas, sad melodies, gunslinger tangos, lovesick camelgrooves, out of tune circus oumpa and outsider muzak. You get that? That's bloody loads!! The 1st couple of tracks are very Yann Tiersen and they remind of something from the Delicatesen film or something. They're very European sounding what with the accordians being all accordiany everywhere. The album varies in styles as some songs are more jazzy whilst others are more classical.... Check out The Oral Solution with its 'I Got A Spell On You' beat in the background. The press release says somewhere between Satie and Moondog which I can see. Defo an interesting release and one I'd heartily recommend you pick up on!
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
