“Aguafiestas” (party poopers, evidently) out there beware this track will have you venturing out of the kitchen and, heaven forbid, on to the dance floor. Even a sand covered, beach bar version of, “Another Brick In The Wall”, yep Pink Floyd, makes an unlikely, yet weirdly effective, appearance.
“Crazy” is next, somehow smoothly joining said Floyd to Danger Mouse. I kid you not.
Just in case there is anyone left standing, it all ends with the “Can Can”. The promo material tells me to, ‘anoint myself with these beautiful instrumentals, the cool sour cream to soothe the burning chilli in your soul’. Well, it worked. Burning chilli smoothed, smile restored, situation normal.
Cool is the word. In fact, it’s even cooler than my damn pipes. It’s witty, it’s fun, it’s skilfully done. It’s Sour Cream For The Soul (Mad Village Recordings, September 2008).
Drop in on the party at The Bikini Beach Band's website or MySpace page.
