Since completing 1995’s ‘Trapeze Freak’, Fu Manchu fulfilled their contract with Sparrow Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This twelve-song debut EP shows the promise that Fu Manchu has. For older fans Daredevil will put a massive smile accross your face. Smart music for smart people.
Music and lyrics of Tilt creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Gathering Speed is really the reason why I recommend buying Daredevil. One listen to the sheer beauty of Coyote Duster was all I needed. Travel Agent is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. Sleestak is the albums biggest surprise. Space Farm one is one of the better boring ones. Lug without a doubt is the standout song of Daredevil. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Egor. Within the first few notes of Wurkin’ it’s perfectly clear that Fu Manchu is living this song. Music of Push Button Magic is gentle, never overbearing.
