Danish rock ‘n’ roll outfit PowerSolo has been releasing quirky “Donkey Punk” music for over 20 years, and on their new LP Jambalaya – Xtra Spicy you will again hear everything you didn’t expect. Kim Hjorth Jeppesen (vocals, guitars, bass, drums) and Anders Pedersen (guitars, synth) fuse raucous garage rock and catchy rhythm & blues with influences from some indefinable but cool other genres into a steaming stew, to which a motley crew of guest musicians add surprising toppings. You’ll hear falsetto in opening song Get Back OTG, a kind of barrel organ in Sitting Around, spoken word in Bookstore, the fabulous Courettes in If I Could Fly, a donkey in Daily Grind, woo-hoo’s and handclaps in See Her, and so on and so forth. What a tasty dish this is, a swinging feast for the senses, quite spicy indeed.
Jambalaya – Xtra Spicy, produced/recorded/mixed by Ulrik Petersen (aka The Great Nalna) & Jesper Reginal (aka Yebo from The Tremolo Beer Gut), is out now digitally, on CD and vinyl LP through Crunchy Frog / Folc Records. Additional musicians on selected tracks: Jens Benz (drums), Mike Sullivan (drums), Ulrik Petersen (piano, organ, synth, guitar, cavaquinho, backing vocals), Jesper Reginal (percussion, cymbal, cavaquinho, backing vocals), Matti Breschel (guitars), The Courettes’ Flavia Couri Thorsen (vocals), Nouvelle Vague’s Phoebe Killdeer (vocals), Charlie Shapiro (bass), Stefan Friis Ringive (tubas, trombones), Johan Bylling (flutes), Bjarke Nikolajsen (cornets), and Martin Couri Thorsen (jingle bells).
