Born Ruffians "Barnacle Goose" (Track Review)
Warp-signed Canadian yelpers Born Ruffians sound positively ecstatic on this track from their debut album, Red, Yellow and Blue. On an eponymous EP last year, Luke LaLonde sang from deep inside Black Francis' titanic shadow, his warbling eruptions tied to a familiar desperate strumming. Recast in a sunny context and distributed judiciously amid more conventionally tuneful singing, his outbursts seem more like the product of actual excitement and less like art-rock posing. That feeling is complicated by lyrics that are actually a tangled mess of self-doubt. All the gang shouts and playful piano rolls are like sonic prozac, evening out the distress. You're miserable! Yeah!
