The Boojums
s/t Digital, compact disc, black or translucent red vinyl
(Having Fun)
Too rarely do opportunities to get in on ground floors of good things present themselves. Turn your backs to tedium, and embrace idiosyncrasy.
Whilst still in their embryonic phase, Nova Scotia's Boojums promoted themselves on Reddit, Instagram, and other platforms via grained videotape footage. And such was the dexterity with which the three swirled together Pop, Punk, ticklingly undefinable alternative, and easily recognizable (and beloved) vintage gestures, that recognition came running.
The sole reason I wouldn't term tracks compiled on their debut disc felicitous, is because I can't abide understatement. As impressive as is the full-frontal blast of guitar/vocals/drums/bass smashing away in symbiosis, one detects a camaraderie that encourages casting down skepticism and kicking up feet.
Getting in on the ground floor can be exhilerating.
