Eight months have passed since we introduced<\/a> you to The Cong, the anonymous trio of musicians\u2014disguised as monkeys\u2014who dare to admit that they use AI as a tool for time travel experimentation (this is the short summary of the extensive explanation of their creative process that I got first hand: the composition, structure, chords and lyrics are all organic, then filtered through AI systems to sound more like the era and genres they want to sound like, then re-edited, re-mixed and mastered\u2014it’s basically a big hybrid that takes a lot of work). In the meantime they\u2019ve shared 19 other releases<\/a>\u201476 songs, if I counted correctly\u2014that are interesting, exuberant and versatile to say the least, which certainly also applies to the video arena they\u2019ve moved into.<\/p>\n

Enough reasons to turn the spotlight on last month’s Bally Broads<\/em><\/a> LP, where Jungle Jim, Ursus and Bubbles perform psychedelic and progressive rock in an imaginary circus from bygone times. Whatever you think of the underlying method, the result is idiosyncratic, original and colorful, an entertaining listen full of crazy surprises.<\/p>\n
