Remember that DJ/mash-up/pastiche group from Australia called The Avalanches? Well, The Go! Team sounds pretty much like a live-band version of those guys - every possible style of music all mushed together, creating a sound that on paper shouldn’t work but somehow does. And not only is the album as a whole as eclectic as my grandmother’s curio cabinet, even within the songs the music jumps from place to place. I quite enjoy this, although I’m not so sure that the album will have much long-term staying power.
