Dalmation Rex and the Eigentones 'everybody is a robot except for me and my monkey' (free download). Those with fairly long memories may well recall our utter fondness for the strangely named Dalmation Rex and the Eigentones. Their second full length 'majikal moose moustache musique' from a few years back for Sorted was a constant feature on the losing today hi-fi - wired, cracked and decidedly essential ear groove as far as we were concerned. And then the band fell from view and off the radar. We feared the worst. And then out of the blue early this year strange dispatchers from far off began to wobble our well honed antenna. A single 'geek' was promised - sadly it never arrived at our gaff - royal mail perhaps you can answer as to why exactly not. (Fear not Paul from the band has promised another copy so expect further adulation in a future missive). Then a message of a free download, video and news of a forthcoming album entitled 'psychedelic monsters'. Man we were fainting at the sudden hive of activity. 'everybody is a robot except for me and my monkey' is the title of that download (you can access it for gratis via their my space page - address later). Taken from the aforementioned forthcoming album Dalmation Rex and crew in mellower tones playing the pop dream - well almost. Think 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' meets the crooning Mighty Boosh on a landscape populated by picturesque homely postcard scenes of soulfully sepia tinged Christmas montages all peppered by smokingly sublime chill down vibes, comotosing cosmic whirlpools and shimmering 50's styled bubblegum standards. Need we say more - just rip the ruddy thing will ya.
