Snog - City CD-EP
So what is it with these SNOG guys?
Just when we have them all figured out as agit-prop electro propagandists they go and
drop a brand new CD-EP the title track of which (City) is an electro-”power ballad”.
And a strangely affecting and even touching electro-”power ballad” at that. Don’t
they know that electronic bands are meant to just make the same record and over and over
again? Sheeesh. This could really upset the apple cart.
And what’s with those new collaborations with those denizens of the deep, Monster Zoku
Onsomb? Are they weird but kinda catchy or what? And Thrussell (if it really is
Thrussell?) now he sounds a bit like a mutant Berlin cabaret singer from the 1920s over
an elastic mashed-up beat. This really is too much.
And then they bring out the remixes, The Calculator’s svelte dancefloor killer, Curse
Ov Dialect’s straight-up insanity and to top it off right near the end of the record
there is some guy sounds like he is singing songs around a camp fire to a bunch of Girl
Guides.
What the freak is going on here?
“Snog is the greatest band in the world at the moment. Sorry that's it, that's all.”
