Francobollo - Steven Hawkins (Moonshiner Records)
Francobollo - Steven Hawkins |
Release Date: 31st March 2014
There are times when you
shouldn't look at the ingredients of something and should just concentrate on
the end product. For instance, on this new single by Swedish nutjobs
Francobollo, we have a song randomly named after some guy 'Steven Hawkins'
accompanied by a video that starts off as a prank and starts off as a love
story between a man and a brick. That's right, a brick. That all makes sense,
however, when you listen to their unhinged, jerky, twitchy indie strewn with
handclaps and soft Scandinavian vocals. Then there's the processed beat layered
on top and a liberal smattering of whoops. You could liken these guys to Zappa
producing Grass Show while Two Door Cinema Club skin up in the next studio but
what would be the point? Just listen to the music and, if you regularly lust
after building materials, give the video a watch too.
