Our Take

Quando Quango's debut album, "Pigs And Battleships," is a delightful concoction of synth-pop goodness that has been lost in the shuffle of 80s music history. The Manchester band, led by the enigmatic duo of Mike Pickering and Hillegonda Rietveld, expertly blend electronic beats with funky basslines and catchy melodies that are guaranteed to get you grooving.

From the infectious hooks of "Love Tempo" to the funky vibes of "Genius," the album is a non-stop dance party that transports you straight to the heart of the 80s club scene. The production is slick, the vocals are smooth, and the energy is infectious, making "Pigs And Battleships" a joy to listen to from start to finish.

But what sets Quando Quango apart from their contemporaries is their willingness to experiment and push boundaries. Tracks like "Go Exciting" and "Atom Rock" showcase the band's eclectic influences, blending elements of reggae, funk, and even a touch of industrial into their infectious pop sound.

While "Pigs And Battleships" may not have received the acclaim it deserved upon its release, it's a testament to the band's creativity and vision that it still sounds fresh and exciting today. So dust off your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and let Quando Quango take you on a journey back to the glory days of 80s synth-pop.
