TEAM GENIUS Hooray E.P. (Self-released)
The five tracks featured on this debut E.P. from Team Genius vacillate from quirky psych-folk (Sing Song & Hand Claps in E Major) to edgy post-punk (Let’s All Sleep Together & I’m Just An Idiot) to gnarly twee country-pop (Must). References the knowing observant might pick up would include the Flaming Lips, XTC, Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, Lambchop to name but a few.
My personal highlights would be the geeky one-two sucker punch of the shamelessly shambolic Sing Song and the rather more mellifluent Hand Claps in E Major, which promise a textural direction that channels the slightly schizophrenic genius of the likes of Brian Wilson and Todd Rundgren.
Hopefully, a teaser for the full-length album to come.
Promising.
