about

Quirky popsters The Barbarian Horde return to Aldora Britain Records with yet another sonic adventure into weird and wonderful realms. This is their Aimless Summer, the quintessential follow-up to the Spring Offensive EP.

Here is what the lads have to say about it...

'Martin Aimless'

Do you have a perfectly serviceable if sometimes underwhelming life that you should be more grateful for than perhaps you are? Has the shiny bauble of youth's promise tarnished with time? Do you like Indian bread products? If so, you, like us, are Martin(a) Aimless. Welcome to our club.

'Banker Holiday'

Bank holidays are punctuation marks in the vertiginous rush of the year, possibly a semi colon, though maybe just a comma. During these briefest of hiatuses (hiati? or is that an island?), one might attempt to reassemble the jigsaw pieces of one's sanity before launching back into the madness all over again, unless the kids have covered aforementioned pieces in jam and hidden them behind the radiator where the spiders live.

For fans of The Divine Comedy, Squeeze, Pulp, Lee Hazlewood, and The Kinks.

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst

Very dark and melancholic and also a progressive album. Beat and atmosphere remind me strongly of TOOL. Stephan
