Urbana trio 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒚𝒆 see their cult debut album remastered and parcelled up for a vinyl release on London's enduring home for sonic oddballs, Kit Records.
'𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑬𝒚𝒆 𝑮𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔' finds likeable upstarts Joseph, Owen and Otis holding on for dear life as they navigate the precipice between careening kraut and wigged out jazz. A cheeky manifesto dictates the tone for this feat, as our lads drag the likes of Zappa, Tortoise and Holger Czukay with them over the lip of the waterfall.
The resulting merriment - feline squeals, radiophonic shimmer and flutter, the undignified churn of tapes unspooling - is underpinned by a piston-like rhythm section that tugs and tows our barrel from one set of rapids to the next.
While the thunderous twinkle of tracks like 'Fingers' and 'ESP' could go down well on a poorly lit 4am dancefloor, all bets are off by the time we reach 'Swip' - a sort of Sabbath-meets-Blurt shaggy dog story, that brings '𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑬𝒚𝒆 𝑮𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔' to a slowly drifting, introspective close.
