 | This is a sidetrip for sure! There is surf guitar here, and then there are a hundred other incongruous elements that merge into a wholly original and unique set of tracks. The vocals are quite cool, but it's the instros that rule! |
Picks: Goroki Na Ka Gnocchi, 7:40
Track by Track Review
Juxtapositions Of incongruous Surf (Instrumental)
"Goroki Na Ka Gnocchi" is an unusual blend of exotic percussion, Syndrum weirdness, and go-go riffs. This is an exotic piece of music, and I don't mean that in the exotica sense. There are plenty of contradictory sounds here. The guitar occasionally sounds surfy too.
Juxtapositions Of incongruous Surf (Instrumental)
Those classical pieces that exercise muted rapid notes and double picked surf guitar alternate in this strange and glorious instrumental. "7:40" is fast and entirely fun! You gotta hear this!
