You know what’s funny?
Poo poo that’s what.
Poo poo is the funniest thing to ever exist apart from falling over and cats in hats.
I’m on the horns of a dilemma here, because the band name, album title and general presentation of this makes me frown slightly, shake my head from side to side and exhale through my nose, whilst the song titles and music itself are actually really interesting.
Firstly, the song titles.
You’ve probably heard the following statements:
Defrocked Cleric Eats Car Park.
Child made of Paint Wins By-Election.
Disgustingly Old Woman Sniffed to Death by Puppies.
If you haven’t heard them, go away now and hear them immediately.
Most of the songs on this album have titles reminiscent of the fake headlines at the beginning and end of On the Hour, which automatically makes them good.
Secondly, the music.
Lower than the lowest Lo-Fi ever lowered to the depths of Akira Kurosawa’s The Lower Depths, this is music for people who think the music of Graham Repulski is too commercial. Whizzing, popping, growling, fuzzing and skreeeching, it lurches from one melodic disaster to the next, with a subtlety not expected from an album about going to the toilet.
What now for man raised by puffins?
