The Boo Tikis

In Stereo

(Flying Skull Records)



England's Garage-Punk fuzzmongers the Boo Tikis have of late been raising ruckus-primitivism in shadow-enshrouded lairs alongside Thee Gravesmen, Deathfiend, and others of that wiggy ilk. A more conventional producer might have romanced the combo's rough aspect. But that would have crippled their charm, and thankfully no one matching that description was granted studio ingress. Everything's loose and loud, jangly and damn near shambolic. Merry tunefulness window-peeps. Caterwauling declamations dangle one foot from the precipice. A sideways snapshot of madcaps whaling daylights out of every instrument at hand.

Recommended: "Purple Skies," "Oedipus Hex," "I Want You," "Peyote," "Leave Me Alone," "Diablo 66," "Place In the Queue," "A Girl Like You," "I Wanna Change Your Mind"

Video: "Place In the Queue" (live)
