Where's Black Ben? by Need New Body

5...according to our on Tue 28 Nov, 2006.

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.
