“Paranoia Pop is Skivvy Pete on vocals, Marshmallow Man on bass, Sticky Sam on guitar, and Bird Brain on drums!”
Probably not their real names — but definitely a real band. Their latest release plays like the strangest AM radio station you’ve ever stumbled upon, flipping between catchy chaos and total weirdness.
The EP closes with Paranoia, an 11-minute, non-musical swirl of samples, soundscapes, and hypnotic repetition. Before that, Paranoia Pop take you on a wild ride of hips, shakes, and technicolor hooks — a cartoonish collision of They Might Be Giants, The Kasenetz-Katz Super Circus, Talking Heads, The Psychedelic Furs, The Monochrome Set, and Architecture in Helsinki.
It’s weird, it’s playful, it’s undeniably pop — and it’s a blast from start to finish.
First run of cassettes limited super exclusively to just 5 copies at Boot Liquor Records.
