Chapter 24

Single - Candyfloss Albatross

Play 90 second soundbite of 'Candyfloss Albatross' @ 'CD quality'

Chapter 24 sound like a coming together of numerous, madcap, musical influences from Captain Beefheart collides with Velvet Underground, Siouxie & The Banshees meets The Psychedelic Furs, Daevid Allen's Gong going head-to-head with Zappa's Mothers Of Invention - and so on!! It's raw and energetic and it works. It may not be one for the purist but if you like a bit of spice and adventure, like a walk on the wild side, then give Chapter 24 a listen.

Frenetic, staccato, nu-punk; brash but exciting, risky yet compelling. Chapter 24's 'Candyfloss Albatross' flies in the face of contemporary pop culture, kicks sand in the face of rock generality and spits squarely in the eye of designer bands. Chapter 24 talk the talk and can also walk the walk. Don't expect regularity and consistency of tempo here coz these babes aint into any straight and narrow time signatures, conventional rhythms and run-of-the-mill melodies. Oh no, Chapter 24 do it their own way - and do it annoyingly well!!

And, just to prove that 'Candyfloss Albatross' isn't just a one off Chapter 24 lay down more of the same with 'Chapter 24 And The Hep Cats'. This is addictive stuff. It's great to hear a relatively young outfit taking risks like this, pushing the boundaries and coming up with something wondrously innovative. Good on 'em too!!

I really enjoyed this piece of work and look forward to seeing just what Chapter 24 will do next. If they are given a chance these kids could certainly make a difference!
