Our Take

The latest offering from BASCO, "Big Bascoin British English," is a delightful romp through the eccentricity of the British music scene. From the opening track, "Tea and Biscuits," which blends traditional folk melodies with a modern electronic twist, to the closing number, "Scones and Jam," which infuses reggae rhythms with a classically British sensibility, BASCO has created a truly unique listening experience.

The band's eclectic mix of instruments, including the melodica, penny whistle, and kazoo, adds a playful and whimsical touch to each track. The result is a sound that is both sophisticated and utterly charming. Standout moments include the haunting ballad "Rainy Day in London Town," which showcases lead singer Pip's soulful vocals, and the infectious dance tune "Pimms o'Clock," which will have you tapping your feet and reaching for a gin and tonic.

But what truly sets BASCO apart is their irreverent and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, which tackle everything from the quirks of British politeness to the joys of a good old-fashioned Sunday roast. Tracks like "Mind the Gap" and "Cheeky Nando's" are sure to bring a smile to your face.

In "Big Bascoin British English," BASCO has crafted an album that is as endearing as it is musically innovative. Whether you're a fan of folk, electronica, or just looking for something a bit different, this album is guaranteed to delight and surprise. So grab a cuppa, put your feet up, and let BASCO take you on a quirky and quintessentially British musical journey. Cheers!
