Our Take

Martin Gordon's latest offering, "The Baboon In The Basement," is a wild and whimsical journey through the mind of a truly unique artist. Known for his off-kilter humour and genre-bending sound, Gordon delights listeners with a musical rollercoaster that keeps you on your toes from start to finish.

From the opening track, "Monkey Business," to the closing notes of "Bananas for You," Gordon showcases his unparalleled talent for blending catchy hooks with clever lyrics that will have you chuckling and tapping your foot at the same time. The album is a masterclass in musical storytelling, with each song painting a vivid picture of Gordon's bizarre and hilarious world.

Standout tracks like "Ape Escape" and "Gorilla Groove" highlight Gordon's playful approach to songwriting, while slower ballads like "Chimpanzee Serenade" showcase his emotional depth and vulnerability. Throughout the album, Gordon's signature sound remains consistent, yet each track brings its own unique flair that keeps you coming back for more.

"The Baboon In The Basement" is a must-listen for fans of eccentric pop music and those who appreciate a good laugh. Gordon's unconventional style and infectious energy make this album a standout in his already impressive discography. So sit back, relax, and let the baboon in the basement serenade you with its quirky tunes. You won't be disappointed.

His songs are peppered with witty wordplay and sly cultural references, making each listen a delightfully cheeky experience. With his distinctive voice and larger-than-life personality, Gordon's live performances are not to be missed. Known for his sharp wit and irreverent sense of humour, Gordon is as much a storyteller as he is a musician. His lyrics are filled with quirky characters and offbeat observations, giving his songs a playful and theatrical quality. Whether he's singing about love, politics, or pop culture, Gordon's music is always infused with a sense of fun and a healthy dose of irony. In a music industry that often favours formulaic trends and predictability, Martin Gordon stands out as a refreshing and unapologetically original artist. With his fearless creativity and irrepressible energy, Gordon continues to push boundaries and defy expectations, cementing his reputation as a true musical maverick. So next time you're in the mood for something a little different, give Martin Gordon a spin – you won't be disappointed.
