“Donkey Punk” from Denmark. A good bit of Hasil Adkins, low-fi psychobilly, quite a bit of nuttedness, and unfortunately a lot of FCCs… Just two guitarists/singers and a three-piece drum kit, covering a fair amount of musical territory. Great sound.
FCCs on tracks 3, 4, 6, and 14 (which is a shame, as they’re all pretty good tracks). I love 2, 8 and 13.
1. 2:01 **midtempo psychobilly bopper with tons of reverb. One of the two vocalists is fairly sane…
2. 3:15 ****downtempo spooky stroll with cat howls and simply amazing vocals. I want to have this track’s two-headed love child.
3. 2:19 FCCs – several “fucks” *straight up rock ‘n’ roll monkey frug.
4. 2:39 FCC – “focking” (dammit, this is so much fun, too!) ***uptempo and extremely silly pseudo-Mexicano polka.
5. 2:22 **slightly disturbed sounding midtempo folk tune with slide guitar and harmonies.
6. 3:43 FCC – “fuckin” **extremely downtempo country stroll, with deep voiced spoken weirdness.
7. 1:33 ***hyperspeed psychobilly rave-up, with a bit of banjo and a fair amount of squawling.
8. 3:46 ****slow funk crawl, snakey and brilliant.
9. 2:01 **uptempo demented hillbilly bopper, a little bit Hasil.
10. 0:38 **hyperactive psychobilly with completely fuzzed out vocals.
11. 3:48 **aw, sweet slide guitar, slow waltz, poignant country lament.
12. 3:21 **midtempo 2/4 minimalist rocker, rather insane vocals, lyrics full of hormonal insistence. Odd changes.
13. 2:25 ****midtempo bounce, utterly kooky sounding, brilliant horn bits, nutted vocals.
14. 2:12 multiple (near-constant) FCCs – “fucking” ***uptempo 4/4 jump about trucking and you know what.
