about

Hastings' very own quirky popsters, The Barbarian Horde, return to Aldora Britain Records with their brand new Spring Offensive EP. Three fresh tracks for your consumption this stormy season.

Here is what they have to say: "A new EP from your humble musical servants, E. Moustachio and T. G. Weasel. It features a range of emotions (up to three) and is ideal music for, say, a short walk to return a library book, or staring blankly out of a café window at dusk, a half-completed crossword before you, wondering where all those busy people are going."

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

---------

Track 1. 'The Chemistry Set'. Ever feel your body is letting you down? 'The Chemistry Set' is The Horde's latest pop emerald, the lead single, and an attempt to solve the age-old mind/body problem in under three minutes while remaining tuneful (at all times). (Well, 95% of the time). (OK, 80%, but no lower)...

Track 2. 'Cyclist Dismount!'. Mulling over what it would be like to just get off that treadmill, or bike, stop to smell the roses and take in the beauty of the natural world... anyone would think The Horde aren't that keen on office jobs!

Track 3. 'Dial M For Murgatroyd'. A cautionary tale of a put-upon housewife who just might have been pushed a little too far... beware!

Worth a listen even if you have only heard his most popular songs. Lawyers, Guns and Money is not here but he does talk about former Govenor Jess Ventura singing Werewolves of London so that's a bonus. timchuma

Any collection that kicks off with Nikki Lane channeling Wanda Jackson is worth having by definition. The rest is just fine, too, especially Seratones' apocalyptic take on State Trooper. New West clearly curated this collection with care. Paul Goode

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
