Marvelous

NiHao!, “Marvelous” (Tzadik, 2011)
Not often these days do you hear a band that’s both genuinely original and genuinely rock and roll, but here’s one. Their first LP fused early-Boredoms-style high-speed form-demolition with the playground-chant postpunk funk singsongery of Liliput. This builds on that foundation with even more twisted and labyrinthine song-structures and a new use of bursts of video-arcade electro-cacophony, yet winds up even catchier than its predecessor (in its own bizarre-world way).
