The winter’s over and
spring is well and truly on its way. What better way to get in the
mood for sunny days and sweaty nights than three new tracks from
Glasgow’s Colonel Mustard & The Dijon 5? Eclectic is an
overused word when describing music, however not in this case.
‘Bouncy Ball’ is a reggae fuelled/football themed party and
everyone is welcome. “She was a goalie in me five-a-side team, she
was a throw back to the old times when men were men and women were
men” we’re told as the carnival gets going.
Next up, as the name
might suggest ‘Capturardo’ wouldn’t sound out of place in a Western movie. You might not have found many John Wayne movies in
which he galloped along whilst making jibes at the Tories, but it’s
definitely a combination that works. ‘Dance Off’ is the most
immediate of the 3 songs here, a slick bass line struts its stuff
before a brass section breaks out and we’re told “we’re gonna
have a dance off tonight”. Lyrically it’s as out-there as the
rest, with talk of alligators, mashed potatoes, Michael Jackson and
the theme from 90’s sitcom Friends. Expect more madness from their debut album in May.
