The Go! Team - Mayday

Hodgepodge of styles and sounds is a rush of feelgood energy

//

There is a lot going on in "Mayday", so much that you'll probably discover a new layer every time you listen. Producer Ian Parton romps through music history and styles: girl-group singing atop Hawaii-Five-O soul horns, Motown-style morse code, and that's just what will hit you first. There's also psych, funk, punk... and more! Most importantly, however, it is a rush of infectiously feelgood energy, and we all need a shot of that.
