It’s impossible to not fall in love with this song, a wonky fist-in-the-air anthem that blends the catchy attack of The Kinks with the bluesy skronk of Captain Beefheart. In parts sounding like the B-52’s making out with Polvo in an acid filled spa, ‘Booragoon Lagoon’ is laden with warped hooks winding through beats that speak direct to your dancing parts. It is a mad collision, a rock n roll car crash at an Elvis Presley after party. Richardson has managed to strip the skin off classic rock n roll, re-cover it in fur, jewels and wire and ride it to through a casino. The unbridled and irrepressible feel of this song is hard to deny.
‘Booragoon Lagoon’ is the first single to be lifted from Toby Richardsons forthcoming full length Evergreen to be released through Hidden Shoal Recordings early 2008.
