If ‘Instrumental rock’ has it’s own section in HMV it would probably be the size of Boris Johnson’s pool of good ideas, not exactly boiling over. Yet, in an age where instrumentals are more common to the dancefloor than the stage, Truckers of Husk manage to blend guitar with cello to produce rhythms of such diversity and emotion it is hard to imagine why vocals where ever invented. ‘A Future Animal’ stutters like a Gareth Gates-owned Morris Minor before taking flight over the Welsh valleys and all the way to Scotland. And where ‘Cookie Cool’ sits delicately poised between summer sun and autumn-drudge, ‘Panther Party’ is the perfect culmination to the five track EP. Coming darker and faster than what fell before it, the intensity builds before Hywel’s vocal finally turns up with 40 seconds to go. And if that weren’t enough, it was apparently all recorded in a Scout Hut. Dib Dib.
Released 17/03/08 on My Kung Fu.
