A journey through Chimney Brothers' imaginative world… Soirée

You get a kinda happy, jumpy feeling when listening to this impressive record… The songs take you on a journey through different but cohesive styles of music: The Chimney Brothers are influenced by music from the '30's to contemporary music. 'Soirée' is partly a pastiche/tribute to late '50's bebop soundtracks for French thrillers… Although the Chimney Brothers are essentially a garage-rock band, this 10" LP is probably their most jazz influenced release up to today. Other styles on this disc vary from lo-fi hiphop to blues-punk to spy/detective instrumentals. The LP cover fits perfectly with the music and the vinyl is also very special: it's yellow transparent!
