BEATNIK PARTY “Heaps Lucky EP” C16 (Fuq Records)


Beatnik Party has plied its bass/drums/vocals approach for a long time. Heaps Lucky is a collection of five songs within that minimalist post-punk approach. Vocals are spoken-yelped, and for a band made up of percussion instruments, there’s not a lot of groove or steady rhythm or anything to even kind of cohere it. If this is your thing, if you are into it, I’ve posted a link below. Me? I’m going to pop in something by Ed Schrader’s Music Beat.
