Human Sweet Shop
Human Sweet Shop is lo-fi, hi-energy, black-humoured, rocky-blues and is a debut album like no other. Twenty-one sweetly mental tracks played by the increasingly edgy act Badgertrap. Sitting in a music world often devoid from imagination and conviction comes a master of twisted concepts and killer tunes.
Imagine what the Fall would sound like with a bit more humour and lo-fi acoustic guitar or rough Beck with a bit more guts. Take Bauhaus’ strained vocal, Jon Spencer’s bluesy-rock ‘show me your testicles’ kind of a sound with Beastie Boys off-kilter rock melody and you come close to the mood of Human Sweet Shop. Then think of Talkin Heads’ idiosyncratic rhythms and rhymes wrapped off with JJ Cale’s effortless melt your mind atmosphere.
You might also like Mountain Goats, Neutral Milk Hotel, Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, Leonard Cohen and Clap your hands and Say Yeah but hell they’re has-beens already – BADgertRAP is just beginning.
So how do BADgertRAP sound? Glad you asked?
