Our Take

MEATRAFFLE's latest offering, "Bastard Music", is a deliciously eccentric feast for the ears. This London-based band serves up a bizarre blend of post-punk, funk, and psychedelia, with a side of whimsy that would make even the most serious music critic crack a smile.

The album kicks off with the groovy track "Victor's Ball", which sets the tone for the rest of the record. With its funky basslines, jangly guitars, and off-kilter vocals, MEATRAFFLE create a sound that is simultaneously familiar and completely unique. It's like being transported to a parallel universe where Talking Heads and The Flaming Lips decided to form a supergroup.

Tracks like "N'dwang Bop" and "The Horseshoe" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres and influences into a cohesive whole. The result is a sonic tapestry that is both raw and refined, chaotic and controlled. It's the musical equivalent of a gourmet meal made from leftover scraps - unexpected, yet strangely satisfying.

But perhaps the real highlight of "Bastard Music" is the closing track, "Warm Like Spring". This epic, meandering jam is a testament to the band's experimental spirit and willingness to push boundaries. It's a fitting end to an album that is as unpredictable as it is enjoyable.

In short, MEATRAFFLE's "Bastard Music" is a wild ride that is not to be missed. So strap in, crank up the volume, and prepare to be pleasantly bewildered.

About the artist

Meatraffle

MEATRAFFLE: The Eccentric Enigma of South London Hailing from the diverse musical landscape of South London, MEATRAFFLE is not your average band. In fact, it's hard to pin them down to any specific genre or style. Their sound is a mesmerizing blend of psychedelic rock, post-punk, and experimental noise that leaves listeners both puzzled and intrigued. Formed in 2012, MEATRAFFLE quickly gained a reputation for their unpredictable live performances and eccentric stage presence. With a line-up that includes a rotating cast of musicians and visual artists, each show is a unique and immersive experience that is not to be missed. Their music is a melting pot of influences, from the avant-garde musings of Captain Beefheart to the off-kilter pop sensibilities of The Residents. Their lyrics are a surreal journey through the absurdity of modern life, delivered with a deadpan wit that is both unsettling and hilarious. MEATRAFFLE's discography is a testament to their experimental spirit, with each release pushing the boundaries of what is considered "music". From their debut album "Hi-Fi Classics" to their latest EP "N'doli", the band continues to surprise and delight audiences with their unorthodox approach to songwriting. In a world of cookie-cutter bands and predictable chart-toppers, MEATRAFFLE stands out as a truly original and uncompromising force in the music scene. Love them or hate them, one thing is for sure - you won't forget them. So, do yourself a favour and take a trip down the rabbit hole that is MEATRAFFLE. Your ears will thank you.
