Impressions
And now a rock album your parents might
say they remember hearing back when they still listened to relevant
music (mine are old enough to at least). Extra David have released
'releasing 1200 ladybugs off the roof of a building', which sounds
like it was recorded on equipment straight from the early days of
rock and roll, and the music itself certainly harkens back to a time
when Kieth Richards was still verify-ably alive. '1200 ladybugs'
throw a little bit of everything from rock's yesteryear on top of
the straight forward guitar and drum driven music: surf, punk,
pschyedelic, and funk, in a span of four tunes. The title of the first
track sums up the feeling I have of this record, “FUN FUN FIN”,
an awesome time over before you know it. If I didn't know better I'd
get up and dance to this, and if I had me another lava lamp, I'd
throw a swinging 60's party to this. Too bad about the lamp... Each
song is a little sample of something different, sans any lyrics. Some
might say it sounds cheap and unrefined, and I'm sure Extra David
would agree with me in saying that sound is part of the appeal and
charm of this music. I don't come looking for instrument wankery and
superior studio polish, and Extra David bring their A-game and a
great EP. In fact I would say cleaning this up would ruin the music outright. For two guys in an Boston apartment (yeah bedroom rock
record here), rock and roll hasn't sounded this much fun in a long
time. I just want more, and you will too.
