What I love about this project are moments like this when a band I’d never heard but whose name I had completely defies my expectations of what they would sound like. “What’s in a name?” Shakes wrote. Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting mod revival smooth jazz rock.
I would like this record but each track has me wanting to pull Cafe Bleu out and, when that’s the case, I have to drop a point or two.
So many other bands had already played this sound out and The Blow Monkeys are adding nothing to the conversation.
I do wish they were an aggressive Jangle pop band, tho.
