Bombay Laughing Club - The Golden Years (2007)
/Avant-blues, Improvised music, Avant-garde, Experimental indie, Psychedelic, Crossover, Experimental pop/
Comment: This is a off-kilter blues-based album by a loosely related Canadian treeplanters combo filling their resting time between the job. Most of the songs seem to run in the vein of improvised jams reminding of the Captain Beefheart and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion or The Doors`s La Woman at its more ordinary moments. Sometimes the combo`s experiments used to crisscross the borders of the blues music, reaching out the realms of krautrock, raga music, just a case of proper indie rock (You Want It All) and even the cases of humour (for instance, Blue Berry which sounds like a mocking version of the kind of Rednex`s eurobeat disco). Or Slippery Sleep which is an immense run on the Stereolab-alike art pop/experimental indie in the first part.
