New music from indie’s iconic environmentalists The Lurxx storms through in the form of a boldly theatrical, explosive and captivating glam-rock EP.
Palm Trees Oh Yeah! proves as multi-layered and excitable as its title implies, an electric performance blending classic rock and roll with dreamy riffs and tones akin to the modern production era.
It’s a mighty reawakening, from a band who consistently and unwaveringly deliver something completely unexpected and distinct.
Mustang (the voice of a wild horse) is the opener, a sense of ambient wildness encapsualted – a performative arrangement that grips, and a musicality that inspires and uplifts.
It’s impressively creative, but also professionally captured, making for perhaps one of the most memorable releases from The Lurxx so far. Their intentions are good, the motivational depth of the song and the performance unquestionable, and the EP is off to an immense beginning.
Next we fall back into an acoustically finger-picked ode to further wildness from the natural world, with the equally cinematic story and scenes of a rising and anthemic We are the weeds.
Given that The Lurxx have made notable impact across the live acoustic scenes and open mics of the UK, this kind of track seems the perfect ode to their caring and creatively free approach, and aptly intertwines that freedom with a celebratory earworm of an all-together-now hook.
The streets are paved with stars sets a mellow contemplative mood, electric and acoustic guitars meeting spoken vocals as the scene is set and the story begins – another colourful original, unpredictable as ever but gripping in its fearless exemplification of this setting and vibe.
From here things build without pause, aspects of progressive rock and metal pouring through, for a mix that’s eclectic and impassioned, energetic and gritty, and always artistically in tune with the evolving stages of the lyrics.
Finally, You’re Badass cuts straight to the point – a playful classic rock and roll single, snappy lyrics and sharp guitars, a strong groove, and the voice of The Lurxx reaching those peak performative moments that really pay tribute to the dawn of stage rock.
While the band are so environmentally conscious and caring as artists, they also make music because they genuinely love to do so, and that sense of fun is crucial, and continuously makes its way into the band’s ever-authentic and energising music.
All heart. All environment. All rock’n’roll!
