About Me

kvrx review of my old lost band COBOFOOFAROO i will be releasing the last of the recorded material by this group, produced during their sadly but magically evaporating "studio hermitry" era, in May 2008 as part of an album titled "good one, cheryl" on instincto records www.ino-rex.com and i don't understand the Camper Von Beethoven part of this review at all but the rest seems to make sense....................................................... ...Artist: Cobo Foofaroo Album: Mallards and Lasers Review by Deejay O..........................................................W hile once a live band, Austin ’s Cobo Foofaroo apparently has retreated into studio hermitry. More bands should do this if they could get results one-fourth this artistic! A unique mutation, Foofaroo straddle a tenuous niche between goofy whimsy and clever technicality. Mallards and Lasers captures them at their exuberant, sprawling, profligate prime: obscure odes to food and domestic bliss, lovely melodic violin lines winsomely counteracting churning math-metered beats, experimental meanderings subverted by odd avant-popisms. Unlike some prog cousins and relations, Cobo Foofaroo keeps the wizards n’ elves out of the mix. Think about food instead. Fans of Frank Zappa, Gentle Giant, Fred Frith, They Might be Giants, Camper van Beethoven, early Talking Heads, and zolo will want to bob their tentacles along to this infectious, fun, intricate but playful music.
