The Crimea - Baby Boom (Boobytrap)
THE Crimea seemingly take their cue from The Flaming Lips, with strange, folk-rock lyrics about drinking too much and not wanting to spark another baby boom.Most notable is the way that the lead guitar, which flows throughout this masterpiece, has been tweaked to sound like some kind of deranged violin.
What begins as an irritation turns over the course of the track into something hypnotically charming.
It ambles and rambles, then reels you in.
Apparently, The Crimea had originally intended to call Baby Boom by the more bizarre name of Fred Flintstone.
I can't think why - unless you have to be part of the stone(d) age to truly appreciate its charms.
