...according to our on 20 August 2008.

Full Time Hobby have unleashed a 7" from Fujiya & Miyagi and it's a bit of a buzzing Krautrocker with cool european male vocal extolling the virtues of Ice Cream flavours. Once the subtle organ hook gets under your skin and it shifts up a gear there's no escaping it's effortless chilled motorik pulse, like a cross between Ping Pong era Stereolab & a tub of Gino Ginelli. Let's face up to our predicament here.... with a combination of Krautrock AND ice cream you can't lose can you?. We 3/4 is digging 'Knickerbocker' Phil has referred to it as "A tune!" and "What LCD Soundsystem should sound like" We're reminded of Can, Neu!, Colder and even White Williams. Brett is the only dissenter hear offering up "a characterless Campag Velocet" He has got his leather cap on though which renders his brain unable to appreciate true pop genius! All in all an extremely decent & itchy pop tune!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
