Newsboy Legion
IKE
|
The album that asks the musical question, "Just what the hell is going on here?" An eclectic car-crash of a record, "IKE" swerves between heavy guitar rock, synthesizer freak-outs, pop sensibilities, experimental noise-fests and desperate cries for help before plunging off a cliff to a fiery doom.
Warning: This album includes lo-fi production, off-key singing, off-hand performances and a sense of humor.
"This group released one of the best records to ever come out of the pines of North Florida... The Legion is smart, crafty, fun and intelligent. All the things that make a band destined to fail in America."
"A sound like the one constructed by Newsboy Legion is nigh impossible to encapsulate in these puny things we call words."
"... a melting pot of of crazy ideas ... garage operettas? ... destroyed pop? ... somehow between ideas "invented" by Alex Chilton and Jonathan Richman ... fun release, highly entertaining and listenable!! ...no way to define that; completely unique!"
"...putting the record on the stereo feels like slipping into a comfortable bath of warm Jello."
"Delightfully weird and defiantly obscure, Newsboy Legion's "Ike" puts the cult back into pop culture." |
