Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Hurriganes’s new album to that on ‘Live in Stockholm 1977′ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Hurriganes energies, virtually a rebirth. This is the first studio album from Hurriganes since bad diagnosis in 1996. Live in Stockholm 1977 constantly brilliant.
It ain’t what you do is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. Tallahassee lassie actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Hurriganes’s face. Everybody’s making it big - This one makes me want to not only sing along. 11st stree boogie can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Hurriganes is all about. I find myself hearing bits of Woo-oo-oo-oo-o here and there throughout my waking hours. Elephant’s boogie is a medium tempo tune. This song may be the most meaningful. My only one - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Hurriganes offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. Hurriganes rocks harder than ever with Say mama. I will stay still maintains something of a specific flourish. Ridin’ ridin’ catches attention immediately, Eight days a week (1:53) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. What sets keep on movin’ apart is Hurriganes’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Talkin’ bout you - This one is lively and fun. The first time I listened to Tiger I was struck by its astounding sound. I listened to the opening track Bo diddley and liked it a lot. Roadrunner Get on is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle.
