This is Adam Green, only more enthusiastic, a little faster and generally more … interesting. At least as funny and meaningful, but much more something to dance and listen to at the same time.
Fishboy – Classic Creeps (2011)
Now this easy listening rock music from the british isles does not – I repeat: does not – lack a good share of psychedelic feeling to it. Of course, being british, there’s no lack of humor in the lyrics, either.
Especially Jim Noir’s EP Zooper Dooper makes me smile, and at the same time, I can’t exactly refrain from tapping my feet to the music.
Hammond space organ sounds, groovy drums, James Bond guitars, soft, detached vocals – all packaged nicely in a 70’s rainbow box.
Actually, the album reminds me a lot of the even crazier, much more eccentric Magnus Moriarty™.
Eccentric bands can always raise my attention. So do ALT-J with their mellow yet intricate songs, accompanied by quirky vocals that give the humorous lyrics a body.
