The 1983 Listening Post - Shonen Knife - Burning Farm

Shonen Knife - Burning Farm

#117
July 21 1983
Shonen Knife
Burning Farm
4 out of 5
Japanese reggae (“Parallel Woman”). I really don’t have much to say about it except that it exists and I’m sort of glad it does.
Low-fi surf pop (“Twist Barbie”)…I thought Shonen Knife would be a bit more aggressive. Here they sound like cheaper 5,6,7,8’s.
Shonen Knife is the closest on this list to my first band, “Yeast Infection”. By which I mean, can they even play the instruments? Does that even matter? Not when they are having as much fun as they seem to be on Animal Song.
Highlights:
Miracles
Animal Song
A Day at the Factory
Burning Farm
