I think I'm getting old. For some time now, I've been increasingly letting things spin on the turntable that are no longer solely related to pure punk rock, and I'm finding it increasingly better. So, I attribute this to age. And that's how I found the description of Tying Tiffany's new album interesting and wanted to give it a listen. And what can I say, at first I thought, oh God, I must have missed the mark, but then suddenly some tracks caught my ear, and it turned out that this album has more gems than expected. It has a strong inclination towards electronics, mixed with a pinch of punk, dance, and maybe a bit of hardcore. The opener "Chinga" starts off orchestral and then gets a nice beat accompaniment, not bad at all. But still not really great. I skip the second song; it just plays around electronically. But then it really takes off. Song number 4 is amazing; Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite is sensationally used here, creating an earworm in duet with the singer from Liquido. The samples, voice, and instrumentation fit together perfectly. And it continues well. Now this thing is really fun, and with each listen, my aversion to dance and electronic music fades. So if it has to be like this, then let it be. "Pazza" blows me away again, very well done. All in all, there are many little hits here and some, let's say, special things that don't come across as well without the background of guitars and co. Tiffany shines the most when she releases the handbrake and goes full throttle. I'm really surprised by the album and can recommend it to anyone who has an open ear for music beyond punk rock, not every day but definitely a nice change every now and then. The album was released by I Scream Records, and you can get a little taste on the My Space page of Tying Tiffany.
