Joe “I HATE THIS BAND” O’Sullivan

Castrovalva next with ‘Senorita’. They’ve fearsome reputation locally, and for the first third of the track this is justified. Breakneck drums and bass duelling reminiscent of DFA79 at their most aggressive. Then it all goes horribly, horribly wrong. The cheesiest synthline this side of 1991 drops and it starts sounding like a Hadouken! B-Side. From their second album. The self-mocking attempt at barbershop harmony suggests that this was the band pissing around in the studio rather than a genuine insight into the future direction of the band. Hopefully, anyway, otherwise someone really needs to have a word…..

ahhh yes the smell of bad reviews is good.. not had one of these in A LONG TIME and i do mean A LONG TIME!!

Joe O’Sullivan must have thought i’m going to be a rebel
