The Archie Bronson Outfit : Derdang Derdang

The Archie Bronson Outfit : Derdang Derdang


The David Bryne warbling vocal sound has got to stop, doesn't it? Yes! No! Maybe? I mean, how many bands can keep doing this sound and be considered original? London trio, Archie Bronson Outfit pulls a whole lot of it's sound from the 80s sounds of Talking Heads and Depeche Mode and maybe the early 90s sounds of Matthew Sweet and crosses it with blues rock rifts and repetitious drum beats and ends up feeling a little bit like a down-on-their luck Modest Mouse crossed with The Rapture. How's that? More than any of that nonsense, if you like any of those bands, you'll probably like these guys.

Their 2006 album is entitled Derdang Derdang and is out on Domino Records. Dead Funny is a stomping rollick that gives that Float On/Girlfriend feel. They were down at SXSW this year too, but I missed them unfortch. Anyone catch it? Archie Bronson Outfit's MySpace.

There is a Four Tet remix of the song available on the cd single as well.

Rhino Reissues:

There have been some hella sweet Rhino reissues lately that I've been reminiscing on. The Pogues' Rum Sodomy & The Lash and The Cure's Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me are two I've been listening to. Also, The Best Of Little Feat and Up From the Catacombs: The Best of Jane's Addiction


6 Talk back to yo' mama!:

Nice to see Archie Bronson Outfit are getting noticed on the other side of the "poond". Saw them live at the Electric Picnic (one of the best festivals I've ever been to) at the start of September. Thakfully they delivered 100% and are definatly worth going to see if you can.

shouldn't that be "the best of little feat"? Does it include "Willin'"?

Haha, anyway, thanks again and again for the cool blog. I took home loads of cool music in the last months.
