REVENGE OF AA

Friday, July 30, 2010

Another feelgood summer sing-along track from our debut album Liber Eth is now available as a free download from Soundcloud, details on where you can get the full album here.

The Revenge Of Akaky Akakyevitch by Jung Turks


Here's what Dave from the now sadly defunct Road Records had to say about the record:

'The debut full length album from this Irish based two piece. The album is kind of loosely based around the sounds of classical acoustic guitar and propulsive jazz like drum sounds, that's just for starters though. It's an ever evolving sound that can go from latin american folk to jazz rock at the drop of a hat. At times it sounds like some kind of skewed acoustic post rock thing blended with the kind of madness that is Mike Pattons' Fantômas project. It's an album with so many twists and turns that I could spend ages on each track. Its jazz, post rock, avant rock, folk and plenty more. A highly rewarding listen it must be said. May 2010'

DELAYED RELEASE

Monday, December 07, 2009

Folks, we're sorry to let you know that there will be a delay in the release of Liber Eth. We collected the CD Digipaks from the manufacturer on Friday and the overall print quality is just not up to scratch. When it comes down to it, artwork either matters or it doesn't - we choose to believe that it does. We know some of you may already have a copy so if you hold onto them, we'll exchange it when we resolve the problem. In the meantime as a thank you for your patience, here's track three from the record, This Slaves Freedom Cries

PRAY IT LOUD

THE DEVILS IN THE DETAIL

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

Bob and Johnny are going somewhere, they’re just not sure where that is. They don’t got talent, they ain’t stars - neither of em are gonna be South Americas Next Top Anything. So they pull on their coats, step out and in to a dark place.

 

 “What’ll it be fellas?”

“Whatevers real bad– how bowt you Bobby?”

“Sounds good to me”

“You know what it’s gonna cost?”

“Uh huh”

 

Taking a seat in the corner they watch the door and the girls.

“We started out in a real bright place, how’d we end up here”

“I have a fair idea”.

Both men look around again, see where they are.

 

“Soooo……whadda we do now”

“Mmmmm…” Bob lets out a long breath ”…doing something, that seems like a thing to do”

“Sure does,

you know they’re gonna wanna

name outta us”

 

 

“Yup..

well

 

 

you know,

 

 

whatever you call it,

don’t change what it is”

 

 

The lights flash, the bells ring and the shuffle starts.

“I guess its time, you ready brother?”

“Yeah,             you?”

 

“Mmmmmmmmm sure,                           you?..

 

 

 

 

“E.h...”
