{ummm- you should KNOW this? maybe} Amazon My friend Jack eats sugar lumps... Sugar man hasnt got a care. Its understandable if these lyrics--sung by a vocalist who sounds like a mischievous 14-year-old British girl over a perky bump-bump-bump-ba-dump-pa guitar riff--make you think that the current psychedelic-pop revival has gone a bit too far. But Death by Chocolate, who top their polite lounge-exotica tunes with a thick frosting of hallucinogenic sound effects, are weird and charming enough for you to forgive their derivativeness. Compared with their American counterparts in the retro-psych Elephant 6 scene, Death by Chocolate are less concerned with writing perfect pop songs than with simply creating groovy mood pieces; many of the tracks here are built around hypnotic riffs or spoken words. A, B & C merges a Doors-like keyboard roll with a sweetly odd recitation of the alphabet (G is for Gregorian, the ritual music named after Pope Gregory I). If you ever thought Alice needed a better soundtrack for skipping around Wonderlands Technicolor garden, this is it. --Lisa Gidley Product Description New low price. Death by chocolate is pop as play. A wonderworld where anything is possible & where the only boundaries are those of the imagination. This remarkable eclectic humorous record is a montage of toy psychedelia surrealism bubblegum & escapist fantasy. A strange pleasantly disorientating mosaic of songs & monolgues where angela gives typically irresistible beguilingly understated vocal performances. The programme includes interpretations of Magpie the theme to the End.
