The latest release from the boys from Penygroes, North Wales.
Topper have have now released three mini-albums, with each release there's a
considerable improvement especially in the vocals. Dyfig Evans' vocals are now first-class. When backed up by the other
three members, Topper create an enigmatic eclectic mix of fuzzy guitars,
keyboards and potent rhythm sections.
The only real standout is the experimental 'Dub' it's a six and a half minute instrumental, based around
a dubby beat with repetitive plucked guitars and a harmonica on top. The
experiment kinda of blows up in their faces, lets hope they've learnt their
lesson. The
other six songs are absolutely brilliant especially the love song **'Dear Blue'
and **'Ofn Gofyn', which has hints of 'Fuzzy Logic'-era
Super Furries.
If you can make you stereo skip 'Dub' and don't mind a bit of Welsh then make sure you get a copy of this CD, I'm
certain you won't regret parting with your hard earnt cash.
