Free Music Review: An Offbeat Gem
Hit: 4 Stars
Archie Bronson Outfit is a 3-piece from England, with a sound that I have a very hard time defining. They have a few characteristics: the singer's wail of a voice, the guitar's twang, the drummer's determined, staccato beats, that do define their sound, but I can't seem to give their music a proper description. What I can say is that their sound is totally different from anything I have heard from any other band, and I like it. They are original, I will give them that! Dart for My Sweetheart is so different and so amazingly infectious, that a lot of the time I begin the disc by listening to that track and I end up repeating it, I love it that much. Other highlights are Cherry Lips, Kink, Got To Get, Cuckoo, Jab Jab, and Rituals. My second favorite track is Dead Funny, which has the same sort of vibe & flow as Dart does, musically; lyrically, Dead Funny is not for the faint of heart or easily offended. In fact, most of ABO's lyrics are about sex, to be blunt. They have some explicit lyrics scattered throughout the songs, and there are some very keen images in songs like Cherry Lips and Modern Lovers (a song that is stripped of guitar hooks and may take a few listens to get into, but it says plenty about a certain type of relationship many young people find themselves in these days!). I don't often find myself listening to the entire album start to finish, which is why I give it 4 stars, but there are enough really good to great songs here that anyone looking for something truly different (as indie rock fans often are) should give Derdang a listen. Supposedly, Derdang Derdang is a way of saying 'during the day, during the day', I'm guessing in England, where the ABO boys are from. And the lyrics are included, so there is NO doubt as to what they are singing about.
Derdang Derdang Poster
"Derdang Derdang" is a compact marvel of high-strung energy and demented grooves. There's an intensity and urgency to the singing that might recall Pere Ubu for some, an angularity to the boys' riffing which has echoes of The Monks in its unhinged thrust and bluesy roots. They steeped themselves in soul music and Scandinavian psych, Faust, Son House, and The Gun Club, but the long gestation and careful editing means that, chiefly, The ABO sound like themselves. "An 11-song set that's melodically insidious and swings like a noose...check the counter riffing of 'Cherry Lips' or hypno-garage mantra 'Kink'" - Mojo.Alternative Rock Music CDs
