I got my copy of Local Warning on Friday from zptduda and I've
listened to it a few times now. I think its a really strong record,
but its a long way from trad surf. It reminds me a lot more of another
Scandanavian band "the EuroBoys" in that its a pastiche of styles and
quotes from a diverse range of genres -- sometimes two or three in one
song. There's 80's cop shows, kung fu movies, surf stuff, jazz-fusion
a la Billy Cobham band, one piece that sounds like Little Feat meets
Frank Zappa, another that sounds as if they were channelling Angus and
AC/DC.
In other words a little something to piss off radio program directors
everywhere. I might disagree with some of the choices they made
production-wise, but you gotta give them credit--they're not making
the same record over and over again.
