One of the band…possibly…

RBRBR -‘The Bobby Masicks EP’ (Euphonios)

Amongst those discovered and promoted by Euphonios in recent years is the fantastic Unicorn Kid, now signed to Ministry Of Sound.

I’m hoping that lightning has indeed struck twice, because this release from Edinburgh’s RBRBR is similarly fun electronica. Like the aforementioned Unicorn Kid, this is as addictive as E-number filled sweets. Or imagine Hot Chip if they took themselves less seriously and had more of a sense of fun. Over the course of these four tracks, this EP suggests that this band have a bright future ahead of them, and I’ll be watching what they do next with a great deal of interest.

All four tracks are great, the band members seem to be heading for a degree of anonymity (they list their members as 1! 2!! 3!!! 4!!!! 5!!!!!) and I can’t wait to see them live. These giys are making floor fillers on their own terms, and there’s not much more you can ask for. Edinburgh’s music scene is in the ascendant again, and these guys are right up there with the best of them.
