Lilli Bolero
 
Lilli Bolero Quantity in Basket: None
Price: $18.00
Artist: The Cleaners From Venus
 
 
Quantity:
 

The Cleaners from Venus are these four 70 year-old guys in a band who dress the same and look a bit like each other. They have loads of tawdry adventures, usually with a group of over made-up women a few years younger than themselves. As a consequence they often spend their free time in prayer and quiet contemplation trying to atone for a shared guilt which they find very difficult to process.  Martin Newell sheds a little light on the record  “It contains twelve songs and one instrumental piece. One of the songs ‘Time We Talked Again’ was previously on an earlier album - 2013’s ‘Return to Bohemia’It’s a good strong song which I always felt could have been done better.  So I did a tons-better new version. The other songs are pretty much box-fresh and I’m already being told by the few who’ve heard it that ‘Lilli Bolero’ is up there among my best.  So I hope you’ll like it.”  ”Because it´s Martin!  Something like: always the same: always different.  Made for topping the charts in a better universe.” - Doktor Jakob  The other day I posted about Nick Saloman Bevis Frond), marvelingat his ability to create consistently great music over a period of 40 years. Martin Newell's been doing it even longer under various names, but mostly under the Cleaners From Venus moniker. "Lilli Bolero" will stand up with any of the great Cleaners' songs. When I think of Newell's music I always think of Television Personalities, Guided By Voices, The Kinks and XTC.” - Bandcamp Snoop  GREAT!!
