Our Take

Ah, COURTESY GROUP, the elusive enigma of the British music scene. Their latest album, "2nd City Liquor," is a cacophony of sounds that can only be described as a rollercoaster ride through a psychedelic circus. Imagine if The Beatles took a trip to Wonderland and decided to form a band with unicorns and clowns as their backing musicians - that's the best way to sum up this album.

From the opening track, "Mind the Gap," to the closing number, "Tea and Biscuits," COURTESY GROUP takes the listener on a wild ride filled with twisted melodies, off-kilter rhythms, and mind-bending lyrics. It's like being trapped in a funhouse with a soundtrack composed by Salvador Dali.

Lead singer, Sir Reginald Poplington III, delivers his vocals with a charmingly erratic style that is equal parts endearing and unsettling. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with each member bringing their own unique flavour to the mix. The result is a sound that is simultaneously chaotic and cohesive.

Standout tracks include "Penny Farthing Parade," a dizzying burst of energy that is sure to get your head spinning, and "Fish and Chips on Mars," a surreal ballad that challenges the boundaries of what constitutes music.

Overall, "2nd City Liquor" is a wild and wacky journey that is not for the faint of heart. If you're a fan of experimental rock and avant-garde pop, this album is a must-listen. Just make sure to buckle up and hold on tight - it's going to be a bumpy ride.
