The Panoply Academy Legionnaires Think They've Created an Oddity with No Dead Time
I'm sure that in 25 years I'll be hearing another generation kick those drums and silence those squealing voices at indeterminate intervals, maybe throw in the odd disconcerting flurry of trumpet, and then speed merrily on like they're the only people to ever have encompassed this sound. Why, the singer even bleats like a goat (just like Mr. Thomas). Maybe in 1950 Louis Armstrong was knocking out oddities like these, in his slightly diseased art punk phase we hear so little about. But I doubt it. Why is it that everything Secretly Canadian releases features men with high-pitched voices? Now, don't get me wrong. I miss Pylon's edginess and the artificial intelligence of This Heat. Badly. I'm just not sure many others do.
