Funky, dirty, sleazy and dangerously fun, the newest entry is from the South London band’s album Tainted Lunch, plus an older track from their second album from last year, Whale City. Midnight Dipper, laced with a characteristically catchy bassline, describes a late-night filthy liaison in a car. I Got Friends, held together by fabulous fuzzbox guitar riff after the intro voices, is a glorious mix of phone-in sleaze and twisted bragging.
Warmduscher, made up of members with the pseudonymous personas of Pretty Lilly, Whale Jimmy, Clams Baker, Uncle Sleepover, Ice Cream Keith, Disco Minny, and more, and of course, the silver-tongued but ever so slightly sleazy biographer Dr Alan Goldfarb, come from a crossover of members of Fat White Family, Paranoid London and Childhood. Their live shows are a riotous delight of humour and chaos, with a sound that strides between 70s funk and the raucous bellowing of Captain Beefheart. More of their work can be found here.
Here he comes in a four-wheel drive
Been up all night and he's ready to die.
And there she goes in a skin-tight suit
Just ran away from home and got nothing to do.
So he pulled in fast, she jumped in quick
Loaded up a pipe and they both took a hit.
Seat rolled back eyes closed tight
Love is real, at least tonight
With a finger on his zipper
Got the pedal to the metal
Low on gas
All out of money
And they're coming down fast
He can't think straight
With her bouncing on his lap
No hands on the wheel
Fingernails in his back, yeah
But it feels so good
That he doesn't want to stop
So he closes his eyes
Punches her clock - no!
Seat goes back, eyes closed tight
Love is real, at least tonight
Seat goes back, eyes closed tight
Love is real, at least tonight
With her finger on a trigger
He's one clipper, the midnight dipper
With a pocket full of grease
And a finger on his zipper
She's right with him, midnight dipping
With a pocket full of grease
And a finger on his zipper
All the time
Love is real
Seat goes back, eyes closed tight
Love is real, at least tonight
Seat goes back, eyes closed tight
Love is, love is, love is, love is
Love, love, love is, love is, love is
Love, love, love
He's one clipper, the midnight dipper
With a pocket full of grease
And a finger on his trigger
She's right with him, midnight dipping
With a pocket full of grease
And a finger on his trigger.
Ya!
