Released
through Swedish netlabel 23 Seconds, this 22-minute EP (the perfect
size for a 3-inch CD) features eight tracks that really shoot through
various Keshco styles. The opener is our re-imagining of a
YouTube clip that, sadly, doesn't now exist... Robert Powell
outdoors at night telling someone "Gisela... Happy Christmas".
It's about as long. Luke delivers his first lead
vocal on
"Crimes Of Casio", a tale of the educational damage wrought by
electronic calculator watches. Robert's "Got Lot of Stuff" is
a
fun singalong and we've gone all country-fied. "The Summer
Goes"
is a three-part look back to childhood where it was the little things
that stood out, all at once. Then a teenage lovesong in "Real
Sharp Twig" - so
many girls, so little of the term left, which one to choose?
"Obsolete" brings up Andy's theme of aging again, tying back
into
the electronic gadgets strand... and featuring some rockin' guitar
parts. In a Keshco song? Why yes!
"Weapons Expo"
started off in 2002 but is sadly still relevant. We've put a
new
spin on it by going all reggae, with a new Dirty D middle.
And
then... our balloon floated to Mongolia. And what became of
us?
