Mutt Ramon Colin Backwards EP

Colin Backwards EP by Mutt Ramon
Mutt Ramon are a Manchester based band although bizarrely (or maybe not in their case) they have one member exiled in Finland. Colin Backwards is the band's first proper release on their own label and follows the limited edition promotional CD The Boingy Man.

Mutt Ramon's sound could be described as lo-fi indie pop with some electronic bleepiness thrown in. But there is more to it than that especially from an experimental point of view. The lead track Silver Moon Boots is actually the weaker of the three here but still possesses depth to its melody. I Didn't Realise is a fine pop tune with a certain charm and the addition of other instruments such as a recorder helps it merrily on its way. However the star of the show is The Dog Song which has a hypnotic casio beat going up against the eccentric quintessentially British vocal style which could be explained away as The Associates meeting the residents of Twin Peaks at an alternative chillout night.

And if that doesn't grab you the cute cover will!

Head to the bands website to listen to previews of all three tracks. The Dog Song was featured in full on a recent Sounds XP Podcast.
