Michael Jablonka – Flump (Lost in the Manor
Michael Jablonka - Flump
Records)
Release Date: Out Now
Huge. Almighty. Fierce.
Thunderous. All perfectly suitable words that would describe the new single
from hotly tipped Michael Jablonka but he’s gone and chosen to label the song
‘Flump’. Now I enjoy the marshmallow snack called Flumps and I was a fan of the
late 70s animated series based around the Flumps but if you think this track is
going to soft, squidgy and child friendly then think again. Based around a
monster truck of a pop-grunge riff, ‘Flump’ twists and grinds as if it is the
musical embodiment of Jablonka fighting with his axe. Catchy riff and
enormously enjoyable rock romp aside, Jablonka’s guitar work needs a moment of
reflection as well as he manages to make those six strings sound clear, muddy,
dirty, crunchy, bluesy, grungey and razor sharp at various points on this track
which is no easy feat. Indeed, with such a great tune you could have forgiven
him for just sticking to one guitar sound but this is a sign of a real talent
that he’s not resting on his laurels – “no sense of entitlement”, as he so
beautifully sings.
