We Say Bamboulee tricked by the wild.

Its a possibility that We Say Bamboulee have no preconception of what they have created, merely stumbling through a creative process and pasting together a bunch of tracks that you may or may not like. But it doesnt feel that way. For a debut EP, there were several clues that led me to the assumption that these guys had put some thought behind its creation. For one, the tracks make no attempt to be a small bag of singles, hopeful to attract the attention of Sir Richard Kingsmill for the elusive Triple J play. For instance, the opening track seems like its purpose is greater than to catch the attention of non-chalant indie kids waiting for the next cool pop song (that they will be hating on in 1 week). Instead, it creates interest through spaciousness and the most Australian sounding vocals since John Williamson and I actually like it. Providing contrast normally not seen on your average 4 track EP, but this isnt a 4 track EP... Its an 8-track body of work that is sitting between a whole album and an EP. Its great to see this three-piece from Sydney happily sitting outside the square as they have always done. With inspirations clearly coming from their musical neighbours Philly J's and PVT, this 8-track contains interesting tracks with melting layers and unique hooks. The only criticisms of the EP is at points it seems lacklustre with possible shortfalls in production, but overall it has definately cemented We Say Bamboulee's place amongst some of the more interesting electro acts within Sydney. WSB will be launching their new EP 'Bush Tricks' at Good God Small Club on Thursday November 4th and will be joined by MegaStickFanfare and Bon Chat Bon Rat.
