Wooho!! life is brilliant. From the Acid Mothers To Darren Hayman (he of
Hefner fame). I love my life sometimes..... Static Caravan releases a 4 track
7" of good ole honest indie tunes. I'm feeling all kind these days so I
won't talk about how much I want to punch his face in 2..... Nope that would get
me nowhere.... I don't want to talk about his whining voice is grating
right through me.... Again that would get me nowhere..... So instead I'll say it's the
2nd in a series of EP's documenting his British holidays. This one was written
whilst he was in North Devon (I'd like to think he was staying in a static
caravan....) Cheeky and chirpy and only a tiny bit annoying..... I think I've
been quite reserved..... Mind you compared to half of what we get he's a total
saint......
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
The Static Family welcome back honorary Static Brother Mr Darren with the second in the run of four Holiday series EPs based on Darrens British holidays.
Four more tracks from the master of his own genre. Defiantly indie ukulele folk tunes that tell tales out of class and super glue them to melodies that stick to your humming bone tighter than a new breed isocyanate. "Every time a write a song its better then the last one", says Hayman, "I thought it was that way for everyone". You will not find us disagreeing.
Some Facts: The characters Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street were named after Bert the cop and Ernie the taxi driver in Frank Capra's "Its A Wonderful Life". 'Stewardesses' is the longest word that is typed with only the left hand on the QWERTY keyboard
Some More Facts: Van 92 Caravan Songs Darrens first ep for the Van sold out in an instant, and has been the label's most downloaded release so far. A back catalogue release schedule for previous mighty work from Hefner and the French is underway. The compilation 'The Best of Hefner' is highly recommended even if its not on our label. Check it out and remind yourself of just how cutting and sharp both music and lyrics are, as fresh now as any one of the quadzillion new things that are released everyday at the moment. Essential.
