Cosmic Kangaroos
...less Grounded... (ltd)
At last the Lollipop Shop can present a new LP by the Cosmic Kangaroos! Before this the Cosmic Kangaroos released a record with two long improvised tracks which came out in 1999 - and the last album of songs even dates back to 1993. But make no mistake, the Cosmic Kangaroos have been around continuously since the summer of 1986. So, before anyone gets the wrong idea: This is no "re-union album". But it also means that for this album Mecky, Kermit and Groucho Kangaroo had to choose songs from a period of almost 39 years of writing music together - no easy task, to say the least. On the other hand, playing together that long made the band a unit that almost works as one musical mind - which made recording new material and re-visiting older songs a lot of fun. Especially as the band now has its own recording equipment. Hence everything could be experimented on and collected together in a rather relaxed fashion over a longer period of time. In the end eight songs have been chosen for this LP to show the different facets of psychedelic music the Cosmic Kangaroos stand for: focused and hard driving psych-songs, traditional westcoast-style psychedelia with longer impro passages as well as some garage punk thrown in for good measure. Apart from the music the album features original artwork by graphic artist Christian Witt. Edition of 100 hand-numbered copies featuring special "cosmic silver lettering" on the front cover. Includes insert with lyrics + download-code.
