专辑简介
With Hey Petrunko, it's a case of third time lucky for persistent indie hopefuls Ooberman. Well, almost. Once much hyped protégés of Blur's Graham Coxon, the Bristol quartet's sugary major label debut bagged them as the Lightning Seeds' infuriatingly chipper cousins. Then, with 2001's mini album Running Girl, they unexpectedly retreated to a curious realm of folksy meanderings and fairytales. Hey Petrunko offers the best of both worlds. "Bluebell Morning" and "First Day of the Holidays" are big, brash indie rock with grand swathes of strings and majestic choruses where their overly cute melodies once stood. Meanwhile, Running Girl's LSD spiked title track is reprised and along with the fairground waltz of "Where Did I Go Wrong" and the oldie worldy sway of "Dreams in the Air", focuses their quieter moments on ethereal tunes rather than mere fey flouncing. The constant scuttling between radio-ready songs and floaty tracks that wouldn't be out of place on a Lemon Jelly album means that Hey Petrunko is perilously disjointed; curve balls like the Arabian folk shimmy/thrash metal stomp of "SnakeDance" don't help. Yet while it's fatally flawed as an album, individual tracks are a giant leap forward: thanks to tracks such as the outer-space lullaby "Open the Hatch", there are some truly enchanting moments. --Dan Gennoe
