Description

Family Fodder "Monkey Banana Kitchen" LP issued by Fresh Records (LP 3) in the UK, 1980. ****** Rec:ex Cov:vg+++ ****** A fun little gem, the first album by Family Fodder, an idiosyncratic London-based synth band active from 1979-1983 (though they officially formed in 1975). The four piece act consisted of Media Fodder and her three brothers Tod, Rod, and God, obviously a clever lot of pseudonyms and a sizeable lot of collaborative members, far more than four, with Alig Pearce being the only consistant member. Family Fodder released two full lengths and several quirky 7'' singles to a sizable cult following. Their fellowship with Charles Hayward and experimental post-punk act This Heat also helped bring the band to a bit of underground prominence. David Cunningham as well as Rick Wilson and Mick Hobbs from The Work, have at times taken part in the making of some pieces. Their music was generally playful, a hint of dub and reggae mixed with absurd, blissful pop, with synthpunk and sometimes experimental instrumentation. Most of the lyrics were also sung in French, courtesy of original vocalist Dominique Levillain, a combination rumored to be of some significant influence over Stereolab. Tracklisting: Upside: 1. "Darling"; 2."Symbols"; 3. Savoir Faire"; 4. "Cold Wars"; 5. "Monkey"; 6. "Wrong". Downside: 7. "Organ Grinder"; 8. "Love Song"; 9. "Bass Adds Bass"; 10. "Philosophy"; 11. "Cerf Volant"; 12. "Banana". A great experimental diy LP in the direction of The Homosexuals. ****** Original large insert with liner notes and lyrics in English also included. ****** Some minimal cover wear, more evident on the spine (no spine or seams split though). ****** (references: avant, experimental, diy, The Homosexuals, This Heat, The Work, Amos & Sara, Sara Goes Pop, George Harrasment, L.
