Bellowhead
Burlesque
I have tried to tone down the prose to write this description, but what can I do? This is a remarkable recording, a shock to the sytem. fROOTS' Colin Erwin calls it "Astonishing!" Brecht meets Childe in Copeland's backyard, chats with Coltrane and dances with Brass Monkey. This 11 piece band of notorious trad-arr youngsters plays accordions, fiddles and such, punched into high gear by brass band and strings, and all manner of exceptional strangeness ensues. It's all traditional, in a sense, but heavy on the Arr. and like nothing you have heard before.
