"Luckily, that's not a problem Butter 08 have, a very super grounp featuring
Russell
Simins of
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Yuka and Miho from
Cibo Matto. Hitting
the eclectic groove you'd expect, 'Butter'
**** is a baffling
scree of lounge hip-hop, nuclear age TV themes, punk attitude and filthy rock 'n'
roll, One minute they're barreling through the crazed spy-theme samba of 'Dick-Serious'
(complete with Dragnet-style sample); the next, you're trapped in the middle
of a sleazy Serge Gainsbourg seduction routine. "Jus' relax, baby", "I'm getting
hot", "Well, huh, come here then". Often very silly, always a blast, 'Butter'
is guranteed to put a swing into the uncoolest step.
Exactly what kind of lifestyle would take in all these records is a mystery, but
it's fun trying. And that, as Diamond, Horowitz and Yauch know deep down, is the
point.
