dvdslayer Beautiful fusion of chicano soul, punk, rockabilly with one of the best latin free jazz jams and also the best breakup song of all time on one ep

Andreas Krüger The A side is fun, but "He Walked In" is something else .. a great tribute to a long lost friend and a band that once was. As dreams (in recollection) do, there is a sudden shift in the middle, which makes perfect sense. Favorite track of the year so far. Heard it at least 5 times since discovering it only yesterday. The 2nd part also could be influenced by Ghanaian highlife, but that's maybe just my imagination.

about

“Swing From The Sean DeLear” is the new 4 song EP by Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds on In The Red Records. It celebrates dreamlike bridge between life and memory. Recorded and mixed with Jim Waters, (Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Sonic Youth etc.) at Waterworks Recording in Tucson AZ, “Sean DeLear”, is a tribute to the late, magical, and ubiquitous Los Angeles underground institution named Sean De Lear. The rocking song uses the metaphor of those passed on as swinging from a chandelier, a festive image we all hope is true!


Side Two of the EP is a 14 minute psych, Chicano groove titled “He Walked In.” The text is based on a visceral fever dream Kid had about his friend, and Gun Club bandmate, Jeffrey Lee Pierce, whom passed away in 1996. Leading us back to the theme of feelings sustained between life and memory, the song dreams on as the band spreads their monkey bird wings, Mark Cisneros on flute, and guest, tambourine queen Cesar Padilla lost in music but found in sound.


In such uncertain times, one thing is most certain; Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds will always bring the party.. and the other world.
