Review: Bubble Wrap Trap - Enter The Bab (Anova Music)

Bubble Wrap Trap, here's an album that's ready of burst and pop as they 'Enter The Bab'. Alright bab-jazz!

Shakti Soundsystem had their own genre-blender of an out on Anova Music last year (see review HERE) and this year the label release the third Bubble Wrap Trap album, 'Enter The Bab'.

Has anyone set out to produce a 14 track album drawing influences from Coltrane to Devo, Molbey to Deerhoof?  I don't it but like Shakti Soundsystem, there's no boundaries here.

The Quintet consist of Tomer Zuzovsky (bass), Uria Hadad (guitar), Eyal Arav (keyboards), Noam Shapira (saxophone) and Guy Ben Ami on drums and they can travel from 'Bab's Vacatation' on a flutey beach Balearic cool to some edgey-jazz funk kraut rock to the Acoustic Ladyland of 'The Flight'; grunge jazz? Surely not!

It's a shame the Delia Derbyshire-esque synth interlude of 'The Elevator' is so short whilst they also dip-their toes into some pumpin' funky 'At The Gym'.

As with 'Epilogue', you're never too sure what's coming next with these guys but happy to 'Enter The Bab' to find out.
