It's ultimately just an odd mixture of two Japanese girls who well at the Edinburgh fringe and then got roped into a recording contract by some over-enthusiastic English blokes.

This is like a really, really bad Flying Lizards. Musically that is.

Boring.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Jun 09, 2020 9:14 pm

It is over.

Apart from one track, that was very boring, a totally passionless affair that seemed to have no real sense of purpose.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

Sorta, but that's more a little musical comedy, which didn't come through on the album, that's just how inept the production was. Gorilla No
