Pop Tatari

Pop Tatari is a loopy mix of reggae / funk / hip hop / punk / metal / noise topped off with gratutiously puerile yodelling, burping and screaming. Beefheart or Locust period Butthole Surfers seem to be obvious points of reference - but really there are no comparisons - it doesn't sound like anything you've ever heard before.

The epic 'Mandara Suicide Pyramid Action Or Gas Satori' effortlessly segues oily funk into dubbyness before exploding into demented old man hip hop (no, it doesn't make any sense). Pop Tatari was once analogized as the "least commercially viable album released by a major label since Metal Machine Music', the Lou Reed Album - Genius.
