Spike of bland indie soft jazzers
Weekend, was in Reptile Ranch. And as well as opening side two on
Cardiff compilation “Is The War Over?”,they released the first
single on Z-Block Records.
An individually numbered, handwritten
and stamped ,classic DIY style seven incher, which bizarrely
had the same two tracks on both sides;rather than have each different
track on either side like everyone else!?
The music is unremarkable also-ran
post-punk;the kind we all love.The A-side,or in this case, track 1 on
both sides, has a cheapo organ and a recorder to add an interesting
nuance to an already charming and melodic ditty.
Track 2, 'WTB', or 'White Tiger
Burning', is less charming. Especially when the singer does an
unnecessary impression of Larry The Lamb when singing the hook
line.Quite an off-putting affliction.
They thank another Cardiff connected
band ,and DIY catalysts,Scritti Polliti on the back cover.Which is a
good excuse to do a series of Scritti Polliti posts up until they/he
turned shit,i.e. up to “The 'Sweetest' Girl “
single......They/Green, wanted a 'Hit'apparently!??(note use of clever clever quotation marks around the word 'Hit',just like Green did with 'Sweetest')
Tracklist:
A1 WTB 5:15
A2 Lifeguard 3:45
B1 WTB 5:15
B2 Lifeguard 3:45
