Beatnik Filmstars Shenaniganism CD

Beatnik Filmstars return with their eighth full length album and this one is really something else. More 'Odd-Pop' sure! The group recorded a new album (If We Did That Then) at the end of last year, but in typical Beatnik fashion, decided to record another more Lo-Fi one straight away, in the space of two weeks, despite not having any songs. So everything you hear on this album was written and recorded in a two week period in February. As usual everything was self-recorded in their homes, on a variety of recording equipment, from plain old cassette to 8 Track. No computers were allowed anywhere near the music! Some journalists will slate the record for it's under-produced sound, but Beatnik Filmstars hate the over polished sheen on modern pop music. Fans of eccentric British pop music will love this album. Imagine a Lo-Fi Kinks, with a hint of the Fall at their most melodic, with Smiths style humour, and Syd Barrett conducting. Fans of the group's earlier albums Phase 3 and in Hospitalable will love this record. New fans will be delighted with this collection of songs. The first 500 copies all come with a one of a kind hand made booklet, wrapped in a printed Tracing Paper sleeve, packaged in a jewel case with a yellow tray.
