Global Goon - Family Glue


Label: Audio Dregs
Format: CD
Innocent, and gorgeous-sounding "little masterpiece " from former Rephlex signing Global Goon, now on Portland, Oregon label Audio Dregs



Review

Johnny Hawk a.k.a. Global Goon certainly does not live by any contemporary rule of over production! Spread over a period of almost eight years just three albums and a few singles and remixes came and went, most notably on the Rephlex label, before this little masterpiece. Audio Dregs from Portland, Oregon now release his American debut 'Family Glue' and if there's any justice in the pop biz, Global Goon should dominate, er, globally, soon. There is a constant quality and an intrinsic beauty in the work of Global Goon who rewrites lullabies and jolly melodies one vaguely remembers from cartoons. Happy memories delivered with great joy, done by Global Goon with the obvious sheer intention of enjoying himself , make the 'Family Glue' album an innocent yet very valuable treat. 'Family Glue' oozes with warm bleeps and gorgeous ditties. It is an uplifting affair that's certain to please the French and the Japanese, but will the rest of the world care for Global Goon? Check the bright, three-minute wonders of 'Friendship Never Dies' and 'Dead Weird Keks'. Then if your head's still not in the clouds, you probably don't like music after all.
