CAREFUL! IT'S TEPID

Finishing up their ep trilogy, we find Careful it's Tepid with yet another catchy, melodic, humorous, bouncy, well-written, suave, cool, fun, jazzy, rockin', danceable, propelling, British, low brow, twitchy, infectious and intriguing release!

This is indeed Canterbury for the modern peeps out there, and while you quite easily spot the quirky shifts and turns of said genre - the inevitable British 'ratherness' and poise, you are also served with that special flavouring that runs through the two eps leading up to this. Sure you get lots of exotic touches - be that marimbas or xylophone meanderings cooking up a melodic storm, as well as the remnants of classic bands such as Hatfield and the North and Caravan especially in the frolicking electric piano or almost reggae like rhythm sways of gutar, - yet there's always that sense of futuristic refinement - at times akin to Porcupine Tree. Still you won't find any straight up references here, because everything seems to be kneaded into the batter in a way that makes the instruments and feel endemic to the band. It's the combination of well-known musical ingredients that together form this awe-inspiring act. Hell, just like any other unique band out there - or every little thing in the universe for that matter - everything is put together by small invisible building blocks - we as humans have alarmingly much in common dna wise with an everyday coffee-table, but it is the way the little molecular suckers are put together that in the end defines them and magically creates diversity and difference. Music is no stranger to this concept.

I rate this just as highly as the debut ep, and just like John here, I too like to listen to all of these in one setting - making for a brilliant full scale album. Together these 3 releases would get a masterpiece rating in no time. Even for people who find little of interest inside the strange and oddly bouncy pastures of Canterbury, -YOU my dears are probably going to love this band. In fact I'll wager my cut of Borneo and throw in a couple of sand-arrows to boot - you'll like this. It's music for an evening out on a boat - or spent lying on a floor somewhere. You could also use it for a hovercraft soundtrack, but whatever you do - listen to the bloody thing! Get excited about the music -jump, dance, sing and remember how you felt back when you slushed around in the kiddy sized plastic pool... That is essentially what I get from these guys.
