The Wormer is the name of an inland polder in moden Holland, Netherlands and the Bent Moustache, to follow in the hoofsteps of the old Donkey, is today's quintessential and obstinate cowtown band from Holland; as if they were from that age when John Peel Shows still defined the standard on BBC Radio. Manic sounds coming from the tulip auction hall at Aalsmeer fed this bonanza tombola of 1990s new wave fun rock, and on, for example, track such as 'Heavy Jam'. The Bent Moustache, however, go much further. There are moments where strideful Anticon type hip hop-rock meets continental Brit pop. Like their great ancestors , the EC Groove Society from 15 or 20 years ago, these cloggies often pull things back to the very simple. The childlike glockenspiel on 'Heavy Jam' should not lead away from the raunchy rumble that comes next. 'Pastures New Seasons Turn' is hardly an album as such, yet ever so entertaining and in a very Dutch way it must be noted.
