(About MP3 downloads at CD Baby)

Dirty prog with a sugary dusting of electronica. All in Drop-D with disco hi-hat workouts. The Mexica rabbit metaphor for intoxication. Commercialisation of Che Guevara iconography. Gay frog sex.

notes

First Thumpermonkey album featuring new recruits Dave Croshaw, (Bareface, God's Royal Family), and Michael Hutchinson, (Stonasaurus, The Devil Ship Pirates).

It probably sounds like the songs are about goblins.

They're not.

They're either about Aztec demons, or are heavily reliant on bum-gags.

Please check your primary sources before returning.

Thank you.

    Had heard Not the motorcycle diaries from a review session on GB and bought this album on the strength of that song.At first i wasnt sure about it and it took a couple of good hard loud listens before it hit me .Its a really interesting album and keeps your attention throughout. These lads have worked hard on this and it shows.Stand out tracks for me are trk2 Tzizimime and trk8 Melissa Leaves The Wrong Kind Of Audit Trail. Top album on the whole and i look forward to hearing more of these guys. PS They should come tour in New Zealand ;)

  • "Early morning call to the psycho ward" UNPEELED
    author: UNPEELED

    TRICKLING DOWN IN STYLE The last person to really make a career out being both so wonderful and outright fucking weird was one Frank Zappa. The world has, alas, moved on since then and unless I revive the college day plan of spiking the water system with acid it’s hard to see this gorgeousness gracing a chart near you. However, if we’ve learnt nothing from Thatcher, which I hope we haven’t, the trickle down effect may apply to popular culture. By which I mean that some corporate whores may be exposed and positively contimated with the glam out on a limb metallic grind and whimsy of the Bowie off the leash thing called “Tzitzimime” or the early morning call to the psycho ward that is “A Loving Mother” where tootling toy trumpets duke it out with feedback, lumbering basses, massed screaming, floated gothic choirs and more time changes than are strictly required. Yeah, it’s a fair cop, Thumpermonkey live in the experimental rack of the world record shoppe, but only because they make odd connections between largely familiar forms. You are very welcome to sample the stunning drawl and effects of “Memory Fat” if you doubt me.
