Curlee Wurlee 'Likes Milk' LP

Another fabulous, long-awaited release by this French/German/English band, already well-established in the 60s garage and punkrock scene. Once again, they wrote all their songs in a spontaneous and eclectic way: starting from fuzz garage punk (“peint en noir”, “big bang shot”, “en attendant la fin du monde”), exotic beat (hit single “married men” on Butterfly Records) and moody tunes (“everything”), even moving to top moody tunes (“tu es parti” could be a song by The Zombies, and “my brain is empty”, in the good ol’ Kinks story-telling tradition), cynical French pop (“Mam’zelle Filou”) and surf (“sailor girl”), and finally ending up with two instrumentals which may make you believe you’re watching the latest Tarantino. This time, this album has nothing to do with legendary Curlee Wurlee!’s wild and pure garage live shows. Although these 14 original tracks have been among others kind of thrown together within two days, the production is much more mature than in their previous releases, nevertheless featuring their typical signature: intricate harmonical surprises and a lot of energy, backed by Germany’s best beat drummer (also drumming with the Hara-Kee-Rees), a decided bass, a minimalist guitar as well as their notorious VOX organ, their trademark. And this time, Organella does not only sing in Frenglish, but even jazzes it all up with Spanish (“todo me da igual”) and German (“lass das sein” feat. vocals by Marcel Bontempi of The Montesas). Another novelty: dulcimer (“Cinecitta intrigue”), harmonica and... dinosaur grunts (“je suis un monstre”). This album is NOT a typical garage record, it is extremely personal and if you ask me, it is a MUST HAVE… First pressing comes out with a 350g laminated cover, inner sleeve and postcard
