Wolfkin...

I really can't tell you what they sound like... they might steal your soul....



So, kiddos, my original post about Wolfkin was banished into the netherworld of blogger, where it was chewed up and spat out until it resembled a string of nonsense letters in a universe where the letter "q" does not exist and the € symbol is freely used, so I'll have to write it again. Not that I mind, as I like Wolfkin. A lot.

Crunchy Frog's newest signings recently released their debut album in Denmark (I have a feeling that it's out in November in some other territories, although, as ever, you can buy it from Vibrashop), and sound like Tiger Tunes swallowed a bee and decided to become an Americana-Roc-Pop orchestra whilst simultaneously employing two male singers and a dirty drum machine and watching Cinema noir. All whilst accompanied by synths and memories of the '60s guitar pop they heard in the womb, the nights they spent dancing in cemetaries and remembering that, yes, there is room for humour... In short, they're fabulous.

Already voted 'best debut album in 2006' by the Crunchy Frog team of scientists (and who are we to disagree with such a well-mannered achingly hip team?), Wolfkin's "Brand New Pants" (is it just me, or is the Southern British English meaning of that actually pretty pervy when you think about it? Maybe it is just me and my inability to think in either American-English or Northern British English..) will soon become an essential record to cheer up the rainy Autumn afternoons ahead...
