The song is “I’m Only Joking” and possesses that fun stompyness that we don’t get enough of anymore. Contrast this with the bar brawl stompyness of something like Elbow’s “Grounds For Divorce.” Again, the new album isn’t out yet…but their previous self-titled release can be found read more…

“I heard their song Come With Me Now and I was like, yeah there’s something emanating from the speakers. The crazy accordion to the gang vocals. There’s a nice groove going on that makes this song propel along at a pace that feels like a whole bunch of people gathering for a rally of some sort.” Read full article.

Kongos – (self-titled)
2007 (no label)
Murphy’s pick: “The Way”

Kongos doesn’t look like rockers, and their music doesn’t quite sound like normal rock. Makes sense then! If you’re looking for something different than the standard, including the accordion in rock music (and not Paul Simon-type of global pop, but ROCK!) then this band is for you. Without question, the most interesting part of this band in my ears is the drive of each song. I could believe this song is comprised of drummers who happen to play noted instruments. Each song has so much attention to the groove that it sounds like another level of music has been reached that other people haven’t quite made it to. GREAT record!
