New weirdness from Aleks and the Ramps and it looks a bunch like they’ve discovered their (massively white) groove: there’s shimmery synths and shagpile Calypso licks all over this track, taken from a split 7” with Montreal’s Mixolydian. The press release says “If you're unfamiliar with our music, it has been described as: noise-pop, camp indie rock, really annoying, tweemo, haphazard or plain old experimental pop. Anyway, listen to it your darn selves & come up with some new superlatives”, which sounded like a challenge to me, so here are my suggestions for future Aleks and the Ramps releases:
- Post-Calypso
- Awkwardcore
- Twee-fi
- Tupperware soul
- Scared-pop
- White boy glock
- Freak-freak
- Hurdy-gurdy-hop
- Rhythm ‘n’ banjo
