Various, Work is a 4-letter word (Fortuna Pop) 7"
"Work is a 4-letter word" is a 4-band split e.p., the third release on
Fortuna Pop and a three-quarters brilliant vinyl treat. Bad news
first, I can't get into the "genius" singer/songwriter Mark Hibbert at
all, but the other three bands all provide tip top entertainment. The
Family Way have genealogical links to Mambo Taxi and Blood Sausage and
do themselves justice in a juicy pop manner, Go-Kart 800 are
noise-rockers from the school of garage punk moonlighting from their
main project, Cee Bee Beaumont and John
Sims are a revelation! Equal parts Stereolab and Prolapse
(especially the current "Autocade" single) to the power 10, they
provide a droney, mesmerising pop experience. Love it.
