In an epic skirmish heard all across the Canadian hinterlands, Calgary's
rhythm wrangler Neighbour has locked horns with Vancouver beat
bludgeoner Spiltmilk for the Serious Clowns EP on Homebreakin Records.
Once the smoke clears, only four songs remain. But this quartet of
tracks is battle-hardened and ready for action on war torn dance floors.
Bombs away!
The title cut sets the agenda from the get-go. 'Serious Clowns' rakes in
the spacey vibes and massages them with a flanged bass line, a
delightful phased bell melody, and some clicky percussion. A familiar
vocal bit swirls around the stereo field, challenging the B-boys to deal
with the sexiness. 'Look At Each Other and Say Yeah' pushes the pedal
on the tempo and races into funky four-on-the-floor territory. A disco
bass and a spoken introduction lead the listener into a steady rhythmic
build from which no feet can escape. The '80s funk keyboard breakdown
further seals the deal. This is followed by the bold 'No YOU Bite It'
which starts pleasantly enough before ramping up to a growling low end,
horny stab sounds, funky embellishments, and vocal drops echoing the
sentiment of the track's title. 'Red Or Black' closes out the EP
sounding like a night drive in a sci-fi sports car. Its pulsating bottom
and slinky beat bounce along nicely as vocal hits and snappy fills
punctuate the proceedings. Opposites attract, indeed.
Neighbour VS Spiltmilk . they both emerge victorious! Let these Serious
Clowns inspire your own dance floor army, courtesy of your friends at
