Think about disco and what springs to mind? Studio 54 and stacked heels? Mirror balls and Maurice Gibb? New York and….Nottingham? The jewel in the crown of the East Midlands might not carry the historical baggage of the Big Apple but it can lay claim to everyone’s favourite slightly-rudely-named-nu-disco-group Crazy Penis. Shorn of their appendage, the P are back with a suave selection of shimmering disco, which you can hear in full below, exclusively on THUMP.
From opener “Like A Fool”s stuttery repetition to the deliciously deep “Scrap the Book” via “Hear My Song”s chunkily classicism and the cosmically extended wig-out “Witch Doctor,” Walk Dance Talk Sing is a paean to the pleasures of dirty disco experiences. The whole thing sounds like DJ Harvey and Gerry Rooney resurrected their Black Cock moniker and took Todd Terje and Lindstrom for a bank holiday weekend bender. Perfect.
