Description of Entomology
There needed to be a gloomy, remotely intimate glam pop group named after a character created by Franz Kafka who detuned their pained, pining guitars like the Velvet Underground, who screwed up dance beats with as much nimble knowingness and/or amateurish exuberance as Devo, who faced up to long lasting reality with as much sad, mad grace as Magazine, who got stuck into logic as defiantly as Pere Ubu, who had spent a lot of time watching Television and listening to the first six or seven songs written by the Buzzcocks. This is the third release in a series of Domino re-issues Past releases include: Orange Juice's "The Glasgow School" and Fire Enginess "Codex Teenage Premonition". Deluxe hardbound packaging.The latest Domino reissue of obscure Scottish indie-pop is a 22-track look at the work of a group that was part of the exceptional, early '80s Postcard label scene. Booksmart enough to name themselves after an ill-fated Kafka protagonist, there's nothing pretentious about their music, a propulsive mixture of funk bass and angular guitars. It might remind the listener of the Bodines, Franz Ferdinand, Wedding Present, Big Flame, the June Brides, and of course label mates Orange Juice. The lyrics might lean toward the downer side, but this makes for a splendid contrast with the delightfully taut punk-pop the band made to the utter delight of almost no one (at the time). Even if you're lucky, smart, and/or old enough to own the group's original releases, you'll want this for its judicious inclusion of previously unreleased material. Make up for lost time and embrace these wonderful smartypants-es today. --Mike McGonigal
