Comment: Boutros Bubba is a combo from the Netherlands comprising 3 musicians - guitarist/singer Spoelstra, drummer Vreselijk Ongeluk, and bassist Freddie Mercury (sic!). Their set of 5 tracks consists either of glowering, slow-paced and mid-paced math rock propulsions or more swift, clattery rhythms, and a tiny howling and hoarse singing mixed vocal lines. Yet, the aforementioned details do not mean they have managed to avoid more pop-tinged hooks and suggestive harmonies. All of that is to be found over there. The issue is released on Narrominded, a Dutch experimental imprint extending stylistically from innovative rock to experimental electronica, ambient and field recordings
