This three-tracker finds Leeds art-rock indie noisenicks Bearfoot Beware at their most wildly schizophrenic, with lead track ‘Lemon Curd’ slamming a dozen ideas a minute as it explodes in every direction imaginable. To describe it as unpredictable would be akin to saying that the sun’s quite warm, and it reflects the genre-hopping style of the EP as a whole.
‘Green Eyes’ incorporates elements of reggae, mod, math-rock and punkishness, and still manages to shoehorn in a whopping great chorus, all in under three and a half minutes, while ‘Tending to the Slim Pickings on the Floor’ which has also found its way onto a split 7” with quirky Leeds indie poppers Moody Gowns manages to be at once gloriously choppy and spectacularly loose, not to mention grungy and jazzy and... well, it’s dizzying. A bit ‘wheeey!’, a bit ‘oooh!’, it’s off kilter, fun and exciting.
