Music reviews of Glory Bumps
Music Review: Return to the BIG sound
Rating: 4 Stars
It's a surprising turn of events following the languid Cormorant release of 2005, Glory Bumps is a rollicking, bouncy good time. I mean they even brought the drummer back! Glory Bumps reminds me most of Oil and Gold, when Shriekback were at their peak (such as it was). Always obscure, the lyrics are strong (and there are lots and lots of them).
Description of Glory Bumps
2007 release from the long-serving British Alternative band led by former XTC keyboardist Barry Andrews. Glory Bumps, their 11th album, is in many ways more recognizably the descendant of Shriekback's mid-'80s Alt-Rock' classic Oil And Gold than any since. Anthems, hooligan choruses, big guitars, brass, a smattering of Psychobilly and, as usual, shed-loads of words. Glory Bumps has a curious tangential relationship with Barry Andrews' and Martyn Barker's recent improvised album Monstrance, a collaboration with XTC's Andy Partridge - Glory Bumps uses a number of loops created from the Monstrance album ['because they were there'] as well as Martyn's inimitable live drums and real-time guitar contributions from Andy. However there is no doubt that this is a Shriekback album 100% - as you will hear Wendy Partridge who has sung backing vocals on every Shriekback album since 1986 features as does Barry's son Finn Andrews (of The Veils) who lends his intense vocals to the happy-clappy title track. CD in embossed gold foil pack with lyric sheets. Malicious Damage 2007.General CDs
