Teaming up with the ‘incredibly flanging big band’ Mitch & Mitch, Felix Kubin explores the outer limits of cinematic soundtrack trickery to spin an album that’s quite bewildering in its scope. Rhythms collide and bounce every which way amidst loose grooves and strolling basslines. Like JG Thirlwell on adrenochrome, John Barry on acid, 70s cop movie car chases career over edge into tripped-out sci-fi. There’s psychotic swing and warped countermelodies. Electrovoodoo and interplanetary espionage, alien montage and sonic split screens and combine to create a woozy weirdness.
‘Dead Face’ brings a change of mood thanks to a heavy grinding bass before booming brass takes it skywards. Horns run wild on a swing beat on ‘Boj Sie Boogie’, and the whole thing is a big band extravaganza that hurtles joyously to the final frontier, then keeps on going.
