Hot Club De Paris – Live At Dead Lake


No bashing of the French for these Liverpudlians! No, these jumpy bastards rather occupy themselves with writing music which resulted in a new album called “Live At Dead Lake”. I bet you they write a whole shitload of songs, then take five of them together and cram them in one track. Just like on their debut the rhythms stumble over one another while the guitars jangle off in all directions.

Sometimes this works for them (“I Wasn’t Being Heartless When I Said Your Favourite Song Lacked Heart”, “Hey! Housebrick!”) but unfortunately most of the time, it’s a little nervewrecking to listen to. There’s definitely a lot of potential here as the abovementioned songs more than adequately show but first they need to learn that restraint can be a beautiful thing.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
