What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic.

The Chap are a right bunch of nutters. You cannot bracket them anywhere but in the "wild futuristic pop" section of your local record store. The single 'Fun & Interesting' is just addictive but doesn't hint at the feral dayglo pleasures contained on new album 'Mega Breakfast'. I think they're the true heirs to Sparks throne, eccentric pop mavericks, unfairly stuck in a kind of limboland where they're viewed as a merely a "weird indie band". No, they straddle decades these folks. I can hear 70's funk, New Wave pranksters Devo in there, lots of mid-period Wire from the 80's with THAT kind of maverick forward thinking tendancy to produce blindingly fresh & enjoyable hook filled tunes with tons of fascinating quirky touches. The conversational vocals are sometimes like colliding soundbites, reminding me of Talking Heads at their finest (i'd like to say spastic funk, is that OK?). They really are mad as a basket of gibbering frogs but they have this fluid coherency that makes every new song a proper treat of schizo disco rock and electroid punk soul. If you want something truly enjoyable & interesting then you really must buy this album. Real multifaceted space age pop that makes Hot Chip sound like Cold Fish. CD only on Lo, home of innovation.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
