1st impression: wie, interesting. 2nd: OK, it will all be the same—how boring. 3rd: 2nd was sooo wrong. Nice. Last: Now it becomes weird. Experimental, sometimes intentionally ugly, but too much of it.

From the name of the band I was expecting some avant garde Belgian jazz from the 1950s, and to be fair there are some enjoyably weird bits to this, but it turned out to be more of a proto punk garage rock album and a fun listen. The highlight is probably the title track which shamelessly borrows the bass riff from Neal Hefti’s 1960s Batman theme tune.

An album I always enjoy returning to.
