Play Pop! EP
Marsh Marigold
1992
Rating: 6 gravy boats out of 10
As if the release date above didn't give it away, this is a really old Acid House Kings release...maybe even their first? The band definitely isn't at their twee pop best, but you can hear the basic building blocks in this early work. Really missing the great harmonies that make me think of this group, guess they hadn't discovered that voice yet. The first song is called "She Fakes Apples" and I really have no idea what the fuck it's about. How do you fake an apple? Maybe this a Swedish translation issue. Decent track though. The other three songs are all decent but nothing worth writing home about. This seven inch is worth seeking out if you are one of those nerd fans that needs to own everything, otherwise I wouldn't put too much effort into it.
