Album Review: HACKNEY COLLIERY BAND - Collaborations Volume 0
Walking the tightrope between brass band madness and genre-bending creativity, HACKNEY COLLIERY BAND's latest offering, Collaborations Volume 0, is a rollercoaster ride through the vibrant world of British brass music.
From the opening track "Brassack" featuring the legendary Ron Burgundy on jazz flute, to the closing song "Sousaphone Serenade" with a surprise appearance from a marching band of penguins, this album never fails to surprise and delight.
The band's ability to seamlessly blend genres is on full display here, with tracks like "Ska Tuba" effortlessly fusing ska and brass elements in a way that feels both familiar and fresh. And don't even get me started on the mind-blowing collaboration with grime artist MC Chip Butty on "Brass Bangers" - it's a certified banger, mate.
But it's not all just fun and games - tracks like "Trombone Sonata" and "Trumpet Tears" showcase the band's emotional depth and musical prowess, proving that they're not just a novelty act, but a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
In conclusion, Collaborations Volume 0 is a must-listen for anyone looking to inject some serious brass energy into their music library. It's wild, it's wacky, and it's downright brilliant. Trust me, you won't be able to stop bopping along to this one.
