While frontman Tom Greenhouse’s off-kilter observations and bizarro anecdotes remain front and centre, this time round the band up their game with a more vigorous sound that keeps pace with Greenhouse’s wholly distinctive lyrical style. Greenhouse continues to revel in telling increasingly surreal short stories, rejoicing in the power of the deadpan one-liner and bedecking his songs with far-flung cultural references. But now the band employ a variety of techniques with improved pro- duction, from the impulsively bashed keyboards and jubilantly repetitive guitar stabs that have be- come their trademark, to flirtations with–heaven forbid!–melody, chord progressions and arrangements which elevate their tried-and-tested blueprint into a more exciting and cohesive whole. Opener Musicians is the perfect embodiment of this conscious development. Here, Greenhouse re- counts a sarcastic tale of half-truths that see him galavanting around town trying to put a band to- gether. Sonically, it begins with a caustic callback to the group’s first EP Crap Cardboard Pet and its über-minimalist aesthetic. But by the end of the song a joyous festival of afrobeat-inspired in- struments including samba whistles, bongos and saxophones are added to the mix as the front- man, ironically, fails in his mission to recruit more players. With Get Unjaded, the band have somehow conjured something close to pop, without abandoning the repetition and wit that’s relished by their early fans. I Lost My Head also adopts a jangle-pop sheen with a luscious synth melody, as the frontman ditches the spoken-word for a surly croon (his first known attempt at actual singing!) that provides a welcome breather from the onslaught of dense recantations that are the band’s bread-and-butter. While the lyrics here are still often humorous and political, Greenhouse has also notably expanded his interests on this album to include a new host of topics. The influence of extraterrestrials, for ex- ample, infiltrates the subject matter frequently. On The UFOs, the mysterious protagonist Blinkus Booth’s isolationist lifestyle is apparently interrupted by the spectres of otherworldly visitors, while closer The Neoprene Ravine feels like an extract from a deep space rock opera. Here, jaunty and angular instruments pile-on as we are fed images of an interstellar Spinal Tap, the titular fictional band “The Neoprene Ravine” who are “the alien equivalent of the Velvet Underground” and include an alien Lou Reed yelping “too busy sucking on my little green ding dong!”. Meanwhile, Hard Rock Potato is propelled by a vortex of keys and synths, a real noise-pop gem comprised of real guitar chords (!) and rock-orientated riffs. Here the stream-of-consciousness lyrics take shots at the sinister financial industry, and include one of the many top-tier one-liners on the album: “It’s not gambling if you’re wearing a tie (even if you’ve got no trousers on)”. On Sod’s Toastie, The Cool Greenhouse have pushed their distinctive flavour of post-punk to the point of perfection – their incongruous riffs, alchemical instrumental chemistry, and irreverent spo- ken-word vocals are a delight throughout. Sod’s Toastie is hilarious at times, and at others just hilariously good – a not-so-difficult second album. ‘’The Cool Greenhouse, my new favourite post-everything existential music happening. Hooray!” – Henry Rollins “They exist in diametric opposition to me and you and our stupid short attention spans.” – The Quietus ‘Acidic debut from post-punk’s new poet laureate …irresistible to fans of the likes of IDLES and Fat White Family’ 4/5 Q ”BRILLIANT STUFF” – 8/10 LOUD & QUIET Artist Cool Greenhouse, The Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Melodic Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Musicians Sod's Toastie The UFOs Get Unjaded I Lost My Head The Next Stage Of Destiny Hard Rock Potato Get Deluded Y.O.L.H The Neoprene Ravine Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Cool Greenhouse, The and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Cool Greenhouse, The The Cool Greenhouse Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Melodic | 1LP Released 29th May 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cool Greenhouse, The The Cool Greenhouse £19.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Melodic SKU: MELO128LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cool Greenhouse, The Landlords/ 4Chan Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Drunken Sailor | 7", Single Released 12th April 2019 £8.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cool Greenhouse, The Landlords/ 4Chan £8.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Drunken Sailor SKU: DRUNKENSAILOR105 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 12th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charly Bliss Guppy Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Barsuk | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 21st April 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charly Bliss Guppy £21.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Barsuk SKU: LPBARK169 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 21st April 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Human Interest Empathy Lives In Outer Space Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Nice Swan Recordings | 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released 15th December 2023 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Human Interest Empathy Lives In Outer Space £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Nice Swan Recordings SKU: NSWN078 Formats: 12", Coloured Vinyl, EP/Mini Album Released Date: 15th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Heavy Rapids Cash In Hand Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Sound Performance RSD | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 19th July 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Heavy Rapids Cash In Hand £16.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Sound Performance RSD SKU: HREPCH001 Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 19th July 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dropkick Murphys Blackout Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Epitaph | 1LP Released 12th August 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dropkick Murphys Blackout £22.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Epitaph SKU: 204463 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists / Soul Jazz Records Presents Punk 45: Burn Rubber City, Burn!
