About Me

www.losingtoday.com says:
"There are five of them and they call themselves Balloons, beyond that we know nothing except that on the evidence of these showcased cuts they sound like they’ve been overly tucking in to the kaleidoscopic sherbet over the festive season concocting and cobbling deliriously skewed sounds that sound for all the world like wired road kill resulting from a head on collision between early career Sparks, Cardiacs, Devo and ‘SF Sorrow’ era Pretty Things, totally mental on the edge of a breakdown schizoid electronics, caterwauling cabaret-esque vocals and wickedly wonky erratic time signatures all coalesce to make this something of a highly infectious spectacle offering the kind of turntable trouncing rarely heard here since that rather spiffing full length from Silvery last summer. Anyhow its all very acutely deranged, hysterical or should that be hysteria laced panic stricken pop of which your first port of call should be the totally wired ’Rabbit Yawn’ though those of you preferring flashbacks of pure un-distilled English psychedelic prog pop should be minded to size up the momentous ‘CTK 120’ which at times had us here recalling some strangely warped fusion between B-Movie and Modern Eon. Ones to watch we are suspecting."
We're suspecting that too.
