title:: Kickin' Backlabel:: Poptones
format:: CD5
How
odd, a CD single released for a song taken from an album that came
out over a year ago.
Mind you, I'm not complaining; these four new songs (plus "Kickin' Back" from their Sport Fury album) continue along in the Fall-meets-Pixies vein quite competently.
Still, no big surprises from everyone's favorite drag racing-obsessed Limeys. Dunno if any but the album cut were recorded by Steve Albini, there's no credit; not that it matters or anything.
My favorite track is "Information" -- great pummelling beat! Actually it sounds a LOT like another track on the single, "Ha! Ha!" which I just don't like as well. "I Got Root Beer" is more pep than plod; a nice change of pace.
This CD also includes the mpeg music video for "Kickin' Back," complete with goofy outtakes from the shoot.
