Not only hot movies and salty butter come from Prima Dänemark, but also brass-heavy music.
You fall into this CD like into a soft pillow, and wonder a bit why the not very captivating "Glengali" is the opener. Then you hear the follow-up song "Never seen a Girl" and suspect why; it won't get much more lively for now anyway. This is soulful, deep black music, a lot of reggae, little ska.
Almost always in the same rhythm, with a lot of background "shalalalas," the record is quite suitable for a cozy jogging run, as I personally find.
I see parallels to the band "Kalles Kaviar," although they—sorry—seem more varied to me. After all, on the second listen, I like it better already, and it comes off clean, too clean (?) perhaps. Maybe this is the "storytelling aspect" that the promotional sheet praises, which I can't quite warm up to. Does it work live? Certainly for many.
Song 5 "Let it roll" hints at what song 7 "Bathhouse so sweet" finally offers, more momentum!
However, the question may be allowed as to where the seven-member band actually wants to go. To TV?? Why not, it's their right. It doesn't sound very scene-like; it's too clean and musically predictable for that. After all, a nice artwork, a lovingly designed booklet, and over 52 minutes of playtime are truly not to be underestimated. Pork Pie knows what it's doing!
