SQUAREONE ALBUM OF THE WEEK

by Chris Hammond

SquareOne Entertainment

Bumtech - Beware of D-G
(CD Baby Records)

Yet another slice of bizarre tuneage from the crazy musical carnival that is Portland, Oregon. Bumtech are a mixed sex electro-pop duo, who like to sing about mixed up sex.

How well a song about condoms, the pill, grandmothers, abortion and IUD's would do in the charts I couldn't possibly say, but you get the feeling that gargantuan commercial success is not what Bumtech are about.

Sounding a little like 90's synth pop pioneers The Pulsars with Russell Brand writing the lyrics might not read well on paper, but this little something just about makes the 40 minute experience pleasurable.

Anyway, how can you possibly ignore an album which is a perennial favourite of the late night slot on Herne Bay Radio Station, Kent?
