The Thingz From A to Z LP
I wasn’t familiar with Chaputa! Records until I reviewed another of their releases last year. This THINGZ record being my second exposure to the label has me realizing that I need to be paying more attention, because I had the exact same initial reaction to this one—this music is fun. And that sounds far too simplistic, which it probably is, but it also just seems accurate. Sixties garage sounds with plenty of organ and keys, From A to Z is horror-tinged without being over-the-top, not too unlike a West Coast version of HUNCHBACK. This isn’t a record that’s for everyone, or even for most, but if this kind of music hits for you, then this should easily land in your rotation.
