Yellow Cap - Too Fucked To Go LP
SKU: 01934
Description:
Just in time for their 20th anniversary YELLOW CAP give their fans
a fulminant jubilee album: TOO FUCKED TO GO. The title track of the
album, which has already been released as a single in April, proves
that even at the age of 20 you do not have to be mature or
reasonable. A small pub packed with people in high spirits, the
music way too loud and nobody is thinking about - or even capable
of - going home: you're just too fucked to go!
Founded back in 1998, the band not only pioneered ska in their
hometown of Görlitz / Germany, but also spread their specific
sound, which primarily ranges from British and 3rd wave ska to
Jamaican influences, so far on five albums, various singles and
countless gigs far beyond their home country and even to regular
tours in Brazil.
The new album comes with 14 songs, recorded in the band's own LBUM
Studio and in Berlin's Tonbrauerei. It presents a return to the
origins of European ska in England, without missing the playfulness
and openness also inherent in other styles of music. The sound has
become rougher, more genuine - you can tell that many of the
instruments were recorded live and together.
In terms of the lyrics the band makes a clear statement on
cosmopolitanism in their refugee hymn "Safe & Sound", but also
sing about love, boxing matches and, of course, parties. Already in
the very first song "Better Man" hell is let loose and it makes you
want to hear more. You'll find catchy tunes like "Too Fucked To Go"
and "Rain Is Falling" next to other powerful uptempo tracks, some
poppy or tradska-like songs or the wonderful reggae instrumental of
the famous crime comedy "Thème de Fantomas" - even the excited
Louis de Funes would chill out on this one.
The record cover was designed by the extraordinary Brazilian artist
"Shiron the Iron", a friend of the band's, who also contrived the
last single cover and spent time with the band during the 2018 tour
of Brazil.
All in all, an outstanding and versatile anniversary album,
available in a strictly limited LP edition in a luxury foldable
sleeve including a free mp3 download code.
