EP: Starter

I recently acquired Boys Noize's new EP, Starter. Starter consist of two tracks, Starter and Jeffer.

Starter is a fairly ho-hum attempt by Boys Noize, recreating the sound of his debut album, Oi Oi Oi (lovely name). Even though I do have a soft spot for this sound, it feels tired and outdated.

Jeffer, on the other hand, is, in a word, retarded.

The song starts off with an extended 30 second drum solo, and then starts bleeping and blipping itself around, womping and warping itself into a beat. I am tempted to compare it to a chimpanzee armed with a hammer going around beating disabled kids. But that analogy would probably be looked down upon, a la Chasers' Starlight Foundation Skit.

Starter is both a lacklustre and brilliant EP. Jeffer is the decent half.

Boys Noize - Jeffer

And a Kaiser Chiefs remix that is equally retarded.
