We've had at least 2 albums in by Need New Body on eccentric stable Pickled Egg & now a newie arrives called 'Where Is Black Ben' (Olympia's 5RC release the CD counterpart) This is bizarre but irresistibly quirky & fresh stuff. Quite accessible too. Really across the board musically but I hear bits of organic punk funk & lo-fi acoustic hip hop with a huge doses of eccentric experimentation, wailing, psych folk touches, wibbling stop-start flailing & twisted US underground madness. You know the score. See earlier Flaming Lips & Thinking Fellers if yr an old codger like me & see yer psychiatrist if yr a young whipersnapper. The opening track reminds us of Denise Williams' 'Let's Hear It For The Boy' from the Footloose soundtrack.Be the first to review this record. Best reviewer each month gets £10 off their next order!
