Proto Idiot
Andrew Anderson
The United Kingdom's latest batch of fish-grease filth, including Sheffield's The Hipshakes, have been making sure that we don't mistake ugliness for pleasantries. Proto Idiot (ne Andrew Hipshake) has made damn sure of this with his debut solo LP "Andrew Anderson" Amidst the Jack Oblivianesque funked-out dirt-blues groove and bedroom punk spazzouts we have tracks here with dreamy back up vocals and "Village Green" worthy melodies making for a brilliant onslaught of pop beauty, combined with all the expletive chaos you've grown accustomed to with the Hipshakes prolific discography. What we have here is a goddamn perfect 12 song LP of "fuck you you bloody cunt," but don't take it the wrong way... it's played in the nicest possible manner. Limited to 500 copies, vinyl only!
