Release Notes:

For two years Hot Club De Paris have been one of the
most constantly-dropped names on the toilet circuit,
a band just touching the limelight yet keeping their
heads down and their bodies out of sight. On the
live stage their jumbled mix of multi-part vocal
harmonies and frantic guitar work has won them many
plaudits but, when almost constantly playing the
five-song support act, it's difficult to know what
to expect from a thirteen-track full length. Perhaps
unsurprisingly, Drop It Til It Pops is as constant
in jumping from peaks of quality to troughs of
unoriginality as the songs it contains are in
jumping from one idea to the next.

So under the same umbrella you have shards of near
genius like the Lightning Bolt gone indie riffery of
'Clockwork Toy' and the beatbox-driven barbershop
'pop of 'Bonded By Blood', a work not far from TV On
The Radio circa OK Calculator, amongst substanceless
snotty rock songs that around ten per cent of the
Top 40 do better, like previous single
'Sometimesitsbetternottostickpiecesofeachotherineach
otherforeachother' and '3:55AM; I Think We Should Go
Home'.

Sometimes it sounds like Hot Club De Paris are stuck
in two minds, asking themselves, "Should we write
the album we want to write, or the album our label
would like?" When they are in the first mindset,
with irrational time-signatures and a hyperactive
imagination, Hot Club write some genuinely thrilling
pop-punk nuggets; but for every track in which they
hit that mark there is one that doesn't reach its
full potential through a reluctance to expand.
Still, any fresh breath exhaling from the failing
lungs of pop-punk should be commended, and here they
show a great amount of promise with an album that
houses more ideas per song than most bands do in
their entire back-catalogue.
