Elf Jaw - Feral


How could I ignore a track which opens with the line "I've got cassette tapeworms" and then later dips in with "kafkaesque burlesque, romanesque grotesque, cold jacuzzi river Esk"?

That's what Elf Jaw brings to the table with Feral, one of the tracks from the recent Nesh EP. Apart from the entertaining words; the recording is packed to the brim with bouncy instrumentation, made even more formidable by an oddly contagious layer of brass. Trust me, it really works as an added hook, upping the catchiness a few notches.

For me it is all perfectly rounded off with a spirited vocal, making this wild song rather captivating. Excellent.
