I'm giving this Wevie Stonder 'Shut The Gate/ Small People' 7" a whirl. As you'd expect it's total tom-foolery with weird sampledelic exotic sounds and a story about wee man Tom Thumb. It's like Jackanory on mushies. Then some jungle beats pop in for a pint of absinthe. 'Shut The Gate' is a spannered electro-pop tune that actually has some good sounds. I quite like this one actually, it's suitably silly. Out on Cack Records.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Wevie Stonder began in 1979, when at the age of six, Alan Boorman & Richard
Sothcott began their musical quest by recording a group of chickens down an old army telephone into a tape
recorder, & playing it back while hitting a 4 string guitar & a biscuit tin. Wevie Stonder now join Forte for their
fourth album release ‘The Bucket’ and a ltd 7” on their own “Cack” imprint. Small People is a twisted fairy tale that
skids into a catchy little ditty before running you smack into a drum and bass breakdown. Featuring sampled
vocals from Rusty Goffe _ a.k.a Britain's Number 1 Dwarf (played head oompa loompa in Charlie & Chocolate
factory and a Jawa in Star Wars). Shut the Gate is an ode to the current crop of below par 80's revivalists,
complete with rhyming village idiot on the mic. Not to be missed!
