The album traces an arc from the sounds and spirit of late Sixties psychedelia, the class of 1968 and a little later, The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, Silver Apples, bands from Brazil’s Tropicalia movement such as Os Mutantes etc, through the musical influence and laconic humour of some early Nineties post-post-punk indie rock bands like seBADoh and Pavement up to a personal take on turn of the century “Weird Folk”, with a nod to Krautrock and the liberation of electronic music by artists from Cologne, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Berlin or the Warp label. One could be forgiven for thinking that Like A Stuntman have done the smart thing and simply distilled the best of the last four decades of alternative pop music, but, even though there may well be an element of truth in that, each note reveals so much passion, love and intermittent abandon, that the only possible conclusion is: this is an album that the authors themselves would like to hear… which is indeed the best there is (Dirk Dresselhaus, Schneider TM)
