After the death of Slint and numerous other bands of the 90s the first half of the Louisville scene, a number of offshoots got up and went to great things, many still heavily involved in post-rock movement of Chicago. One such project, King Kong, Slint member Ethan Buckler led by the former, it was not so popular, but there is still an important part of the remains of the scene, supported locally Drag City label. Chicago-bound projects, followed by a direction heavily influenced by jazz and fusion, while groups like King Kong opted for very untraditional forms of experimental rock. Buckler nonsense texts and unorthodox delivery are so mind of Fred Schneider's older songs that King Kong, sometimes it does not seem unlike the B-52 band parody. Second release of the Group, Funny Farm, is a caustic and ironic point of view of country life in the city (even if their city is a bit 'removed from the general ideas of the urban metropolis).
The arrangements are fun and playful, as organs and synths creep into guitar lines and lyrics with a spiritual carefully incredibly live texture - very suitable for recording with a lack of seriousness. Titles like "Dirty City, Rainy Day" and "Scooba Diver Doob" contains heavy bass lines that are highly infectious groove and dance. A press update a genre not known for their accessibility (or its dancefloor possibilities). ~ Ken Taylor
