For those who can recall the anarchic elektro-punk
approach of the predecessor ôBootlegö, A&EÆs new
album ôOi!ö will come as a surprise û and thatÆs putting
it mildly.
The rest û i.e. those whoÆve never heard a single note
of the duoÆs music and do not know anything about the
protagonistsÆ activities or their histories û will also be surprised.tes
Why? Because traditional sounding Japanese singing in
combination with a deftly played jazz guitar plus sounds
from gameboys and junkshop keyboards plus solid punk
drums is clearly something you wonÆt hear every day.
And while weÆre at it: That also goes for the duoÆs combination
of drumÆnÆbass mayhem and Hawaiian lap steel sounds.
And these are not the only fiendish concoctions A&E have in
store for their audience.
Luckily, A&E have retained their crazy (bordering on lunatic)
humour and their inventiveness in dealing with all the stuff
that popular music has come up with in, say, the last 70 years.
Both are virtues of the venturous and cutting-edge present
day musician. But apart from that, quite a lot has changed for
the British/Japanese duo. With their bastard ballads, this
ôno genreö-band has, yes!, invented a new genre.
They themselves do not proclaim that and in all probability
they donÆt even know it, but it is a fact.
