CD, but also free download, internet release, credits says 'conceived in 2007, composed in 2008, recorded in 2009, packaged in 2010, release in 2011', - so, if You think it's never too late, well, our beloved three piece from Genova, Italy, Blown Paper Bags, prove it with being total bradipo, willing or not.
And it's kind a shame, because this record is pop-deliciously shaped, - frisky, playful, rhythmically crazy and fully danceable, made multicolour and shimmering like a sparkling merry-go-round. And the operators are the same children galloping.
A carousel musically choreographed à la (early) B52's and The Fall, with a faster, bizzarre gearwork, although, actually, there's nothing really static once you join the hallucinatory horse ballet: often drumming à la Stephen Morris (Carplates Thieves), leaded by boy/girl vocals, fireworks with bass/synth and percussions.
The whole record runs whimsically enjoyable, eclectic is the key word. Besides making you move up and down with The Sound Of My Defiance and Body=Temple, Blown Paper Bags are also able to slow down, playing with the sexy jocose hip-hop of Topless Meeting, as well with the love cats-ish cabaret of Intimacy Shield.
The last track, Blown Manifesto (Pop Eye version), sings 'We were Blown Paper Bags', - it sounds pretty bitter when the amusement ride turns off.
If their previous split with Experimental Dental School was in a way too chaotic, this is perfectly arranged for a heart attack on the (indie) dancefloor.
But not this year, - next year.

CD, ma anche download gratuito e internet release, le note di copertina dicono 'conceived in 2007, composed in 2008, recorded in 2009, packaged in 2010, release in 2011', quindi se è vero che non è mai troppo tardi, i nostri tre di Genova, sotto monicker Blown Paper Bags, sono dei bradipi totali, volenti o meno.
Ed è un peccato, perchè questo disco è dileziosamente modellato pop, saltellante, giocoso, ritmicamente folle e ballabile tutto, - fatto multicolore e luccicante come una scintillante giostra. E gli giostrai stessi sono i bambini sugli unicorni al galoppo.
Un carosello musicalmente coreografato dai (primi) B52's e The Fall, con meccanismi più veloci e bizzarri, sebbene non ci sia nulla di veramente statico negli animali fissati ai pali una volta che raggiungete il centro roteante: batterie spesso à la Stephen Morris (Carplates Thieves), ragazzo/ragazza alle voci, fuochi d'artificio di synth e basso.
L'intero disco scorre capricciosamente godibile, - la parola chiave è eclettico.
Oltre a farVi muovere sù e giù con The Sound Of My Defiance and Body=Temple, i Blown Paper Bags riescono anche a rallentare con del sexy e giocoso hip hop di Topless Meeting, o anche il cabaret stile the love cats di Intimacy Shield.
L'ultima traccia, Blown Manifesto (Pop Eye version), canta 'We were Blown Paper Bags', - ed è amaro quanto il verder spegnersi un parco giochi.
Se il loro precedente split con gli Experimental Dental School magari suonava troppo caotico, questa release è invece perfettamente arrangiata per un attacco cardiaco sulla pista da ballo (indie).
Ma non quest'anno. Rispettiamo le scadenze, - sarà il prossimo.
