Hey, we don’t make the news, we just report it. And that is word-for-word how Babel unpacks “de mannetjesolifant gaat op reis naar de oostzee.”
Which, by the way, in turn, is the freaky, multi-headed second track to the yaouhl! mashups, by gillicuddy. The album opens with “i know, i know,” an underspoken track in volume and distance, even if you weigh it on a folk scale. The piece segues with intentional clumsiness into our title cut, which first toys around with toy metal, then with a mid-term psych exam, and last, with lecture notes from Field Recordings 101. Go ahead. Try to get enough. We double-dog dare you.
“sh-dah” propagates all this propaganda, while “instrumental #2″ is curiously sober, and relatively brief. The EP comes to an abrupt stop with the unfortunate joke song “sme. li. co.” One can only wonder: do they sme. li. elepha. co.?
Strange. Catchy. Full of vip. Go now and click.
