seagull strange - animals
3 tracker of rather weird and wonderful stuff. lo-fi budgets are stretched the max, as all manner of 60's drug induced effects are laid out over the top of a shuffling beat here and there (hello baggy revival?). not an immediate hit i will admit, especially as the lyrics reveal themselves to be full of dark nastiness, for example, 'here i come with my double barrelled gun' during the opener 'run pig run', seems to imply a certain they have watched that unpleasant but classic film 'deliverance' a few too many times, and with the gun theme continuing into 'high hopes' and 'call centre killer' you seriously begin to fear for the state of the bands collective mental health.
a record that fascinates more and more with each spin.
