"This giddy avant pop affair is rather more avant than pop, with a large backing band of musicians steeped in the stylings of early 1970s psychedelia, mutant prog, free jazz saxophone solos, slinky blues (particularly on “Red White And Blue”) and moody spy soundtracks in the vein of John Barry’s score for 1965’s The Ipcress File. “Last Exit To Lublin” has a spoken word interlude in which the Cold War language of such films is remapped for the era of Brexit: “Papers, please/How long have you been in the country?/And how long do you intend to stay?/Come with us”. The kitschiness of Barry’s music is stripped away to reveal its original purpose: the sound of a very English paranoia." - Dickon Edwards
Myzlkypop gives us with “a work of fiction pre Pandemic, pre Referendum” where avant-pop from Zappa to Ze Records shines through this meticulously crafted song cycle, played on vintage instruments and uniquely voiced by Sylwia Drwal in an entirely European voice that is cliché free and commands the song. Many catalysts - not least spending decades as a gun for hire writer/ musician since the heady days in Detroit working with Was ( Not Was) until I could resist no longer and decided to do my music my way with zero compromise or commercial consideration.
