From Beck's newest Record Club outing, comes a reinterpretation of the Kick album from Ozzy stadium monsters INXS. Yeah the band that consisted of effeminate perv Mike Hutchence and, erm, erm, a bunch of other Ozzy guys! ..... And, remember kids, erotic-asphyxiation is bad, OK?! As is banging douchebag Bob Geldof's mad MK'd missus!
Wasn't expecting much from this thing, given the insipid, saccharine nature of the original material, but it's surprisingly good! The best resurrection since Lazarus! ... Who knew there were some decent ditties in the original overblown crock!!
Yap it's Record Club No. 4 and joining in this time are three of Beck's favourite bands - Liars, Annie Clark and Daniel Hart from St. Vincent and Sergio Dias from the legendary Brazilian band Os Mutantes. Also here is RC veteran Brian Lebarton, just back from the Charlotte Gainsbourg tour.
The record covered this time is the 1987 blockbuster Kick by INXS. The record was chosen by fellow Aussie, Angus from the Liars.
It was recorded in a little over 12 hours on March 3rd, 2010. Apparently, it was "an intense, hilarious, daunting and completely fun undertaking."
Here lil' non-orphan Annie from St. Vincent takes lead vocal with a beautiful low key vocal interpretation (laid down in just one take!) of the album's OTT super-ballad super-smash "Never Tear Us Apart." All over lush delicious strings! Love it!!! ... Yap, galaxies better than the overblown original!
