The World By Storm
Not like dark and scary nightmares. More like, fucking, there’s a flame beast attacking the nearby village and I’m trying to swim but I can’t with all these Oreos!!
Obviously that was inspired by the cover to this record but, that’s cuz these guys know what they’re doing. Hell, one of them is a founding Mekon. So, he should.
This is the grown up version of They Might Be Giants after they’ve lost their virginity and had a few drinks.
With a dash of Adam Ant and John Lydon and Bowie and Numan and a host of other influences swirling around in there.
There isn’t a bad track on this thing. And the fact that no one knows it exists...I give it an extra. 5 just for that.
Fucking extraordinary.
