Ignored from sometime earlier this summer was the debut single from JESUS LICKS
called 'Dalek Chorus'. We had a demo CD in by this band once & it
was a raggle taggle delight. This red vinyl 7" is a mesmerising tribute
to the good Doctor we all know & love & probably one of the
most charming, wonky & spectral folk tunes
I've ever heard. It sounds to me a little like Thinking Fellers
in their alienfolk guise plucking away at a banjo in an hypnotic
campfire fashion. The girl singer has the voice of an angel & her
simple spine tingling mantra resonates throughout this naive gem of a
tune. It's a crime this didn't garner more interest originally as we
had excellent feedback from all who bought it first time. Utterly
beautiful! On the flip we have 'Eternally Lonely' which suggests Lucky Luke jamming with The Delgados. Or a stomping folksy Lush. It's really bloody good! 3rd track 'Harr Barbie' reminds me of a shambling off kilter C86 band, kinda Heavenly meets Miaow or early Darling Buds with a dash of Beat Happening. With the girl from Life Without Buildings
on vox. Cripes! Got all me comparisons in there didn't I??? You can all
see the fantastic sleeve for this now as it's getting belated single of
the week. You could alternatively have a wistful mozzer scoffing an ice
cream on the sleeve to his newie perhaps!!! x Brian Dangermouse
