POPULAR TYRE
FEBBRE DEL DISCOTHEQUE/THE OLD WALKING MAN
EAT SOME REAL

Stand by for the most audaciously bonkers outing of the week: one of those irreverent barrages which cares not for trends but enlists knowledge of great musical styles and weaves it into a bollock-blasting new whole which builds on the fun-packed template set by their ‘Robot Love’ debut. After a long, clanging intro the minimal electronic patter kicks in before they take it to the disco with robot MC vocals. ‘The Old Walking Man’ is the killer: riding a juggernaut rockabilly groove splattered with harmonica, demented Laughing Policeman cackling and further sonic insanity which reminds me of Captain Beefheart in its unhinged, blues-drenched spirit. As it goes on you realise you’re experiencing a truly out there work of art and having the time of your life.
