This debut release contains fourteen Scooby snack sized song bites binged down in under half an hour.
The quartet of Londoners are like hyperactive school kids making the most of a short lunch break. They are punk pranksters tearing through the tunes at breakneck place as though imitating the manic energy of Captain Beefheart's The Blimp.
Pieces like Wish For A Cat and Wat Bandana seem to play for laughs but the splendidly titled Everyday's The End Of The World For Someone ("I have a hard time thinking about death") suggests they also have something serious to say. If so, any coded messages get lost in all the mayhem.
Spirited and entertaining as it is, I have to say the overall effect is more exhausting than exhilarating.
