Our Take

MOUTH CONGRESS' latest album, "Waiting For Henry", is a whimsical romp through the depths of rock 'n' roll absurdity. From the moment the first track kicks in, you'll find yourself swept away on a wave of bizarre lyrics and unpredictable instrumentals.

Lead singer Henry's distinctive vocals are a highlight, delivering his quirky, off-kilter lyrics with a charm that's as endearing as it is perplexing. The band's unique blend of punk, funk, and avant-garde influences creates a sound that's both familiar and utterly original.

Tracks like "Henry's Dream", with its pulsating bassline and cryptic lyrics, showcase MOUTH CONGRESS' ability to create music that's simultaneously catchy and thought-provoking. Meanwhile, "Waiting for Henry", the album's title track, is a full-throttle rocker that will have you dancing and scratching your head in equal measure.

The production on "Waiting For Henry" is top-notch, with each instrument given room to shine and create a rich tapestry of sound. The album's eclectic mix of genres and styles may not be for everyone, but for those willing to take the plunge, it's a rewarding journey into the eccentric world of MOUTH CONGRESS.

In conclusion, "Waiting For Henry" is a bold and captivating release from a band unafraid to push the boundaries of conventional music. If you're looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, MOUTH CONGRESS is definitely worth a listen. Just be prepared to be taken on a wild and unpredictable ride.

About the artist

Mouth Congress

MOUTH CONGRESS are the self-proclaimed kings of avant-garde punk funk, a genre they've basically invented themselves. Hailing from the gritty streets of London's East End, this eccentric trio combines elements of post-punk, disco, and free jazz to create a sound that's as unpredictable as it is infectious. Lead singer and frontman Johnny Rottenberg, with his spiky blue hair and trademark eyeliner, is a magnetic presence on stage, commanding the audience's attention with his wild dance moves and theatrical vocal delivery. Bassist Sally Snares keeps the groove tight with her funky basslines, while drummer Tommy Tinnitus adds a frenetic energy to the mix with his pounding beats. MOUTH CONGRESS' lyrics are a mix of social commentary, surreal imagery, and absurd humour, delivered with a sardonic wit that's pure British cheek. Tracks like "Disco Inferno" and "Funky Monkey Love" showcase the band's knack for catchy hooks and memorable choruses, while deeper cuts like "Existential Crisis Blues" and "Post-Post-Post-Modern Blues" reveal a more introspective side to their songwriting. Their live shows are a riot of colour and sound, with the band known for their outlandish costumes, DIY stage props, and interactive audience participation. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a curious passer-by, a MOUTH CONGRESS gig is an experience you won't forget in a hurry. In a music scene that can sometimes feel a bit stale and homogenous, MOUTH CONGRESS are a breath of fresh air, injecting much-needed vitality and originality into the industry. Keep an eye on these boundary-pushing renegades - their star is on the rise, and they're showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
