Update: I didn’t complete the mp3 URL correctly in the original post. This has now been corrected. Sorry about that! I’m only human!
Just over a month ago I wrote about Balkan Beat Box’s self-titled debut and noted their follow up, Nu Med, was due out this month. Of course, I purchased an advance release. The verdict for those hungry for quirky music? It’s a cracker!
This offering has more instrumental tracks and leans more to the Mediterranean compared to the Eastern or Southeastern European sounding Balkan Beat Box. Tracks that immediately jumped out and grabbed me by both ears: “Hermetico”, “Digital Monkey”, “Mexico City”, “$20 For Boban”, “Habibi Min Zaman” and “Balcasio”. But, the entire album is an organized cacophony that slaps you like one of the Three Stooges and plasters a tremendous smile on your face.
Don’t trust me? Give “Mexico City” a try and then get yourself a copy of Nu Med.
Balkan Beat Box – Mexico City
If you visit Jdub Records you can hook yourself up with downloads of “Hermetico” and “Digital Monkey” … if they’re still available by the time you read this. Whaddya waiting for? Geez.
