Have
you ever noticed that when British people say words like "fuck"
and "cunt" that it doesn't really sound so bad? Remember
that band of trashy limeys that shocked the world with super-crudity
and calousness in the 60s called the Kinks? They filled the airwaves
and kids' turntables with noise and distortion and, for the first
time in history, that didn't sound so bad either! I'm guessing this
has to do with the fact that in England you can walk in to a bar and
legally drink beer at the age of three. The United Kingdom's latest
batch of fish-grease filth, including Sheffield's The Hipshakes, have
been making sure that we don't mistake ugliness for pleasantries.
Proto Idiot (ne Andrew Hipshake) has made damn sure of this with his
debut solo LP "Andrew Anderson" Amidst the Jack Oblivianesque
funked-out dirt-blues groove and bedroom punk spazz-outs we have tracks
here with dreamy back up vocals and "Village Green" worthy
melodies making for a brilliant onslaught of pop beauty, combined
with all the expletive chaos you've grown accustomed to with the Hipshakes
prolific discography. What we have here is a goddamn perfect 12 song
LP of "fuck you you bloody cunt," but don't take it the
wrong way... it's played in the nicest possible manner.
