Bikini Atoll are that strangest of bands. From Texas, on Bella Union & poised to be at least moderately huge. But they sound like all my favourite bands when I was a kid rolled into a kind of post-rock calzone. Blasts of James, Echo & The Bunnymen & U2, entwined with the more contemporary Explosions ITS/Mogwai axis not to mention shades of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds! A really quality stew of sinister & euphoric BIG sounding indie rock. With this & The Stills on the horizon, looks like we're gonna have an early Eighties overcoat revival (that's OVERCOAT, Clint, NOT Duffel coat!!) CD only.Be the first to review this record. Best reviewer each month gets £10 off their next order!
