Baghdad Boogie

Two tracks from this Nottingham band. Designer Babies collage the old and new, fast and slow, melodic and abrasive. Their influences range from old blues and rock & roll to traditional Mauritanian music and Japanese experimentalism. Drowned in Sound said, "Designer Babies are impossible to categorize using conventional pigeonholes. They've dug/drilled/spooned-out their own, but not even they seem to know exactly what it is. It's punk, yet you can dance to it, but you'll cry your eyes dry doing so. It's like nothing you've ever heard." For fans of the Melvins, Fantomas, Captain Beefheart, and Ruins.
