Big Fun – Oogley Boogley
We complained early when we said that good new bands are already history. The release of the second album of the Los Angeles band Big Fun was a great discovery for us. The full-length album, bizarrely titled 'Oogley Boogley' and featuring 13 tracks, was released on June 5.

The band is developing. Their new alternative rock has something of its own - peculiar face. It is clear that the guys are completely in art and do not see themselves outside of it. Listening to the tracklist of this album we come across real pearls. We will look at a few of them below. 


So the first track is 'Boogley Woo' and it goes, it runs and in its industrial style swirls in a whirlpool of synthesizer sounds. A kind of intro for their strange sounds and original ideas. 


Alternative rock of the track 'Solid Gold' starts in the traditional sound in the style of Royal Blood and The Kills. Minimalist music has 80s synthesizer inserts which makes the song more interesting in terms of originality. The second part is gaining a punk tempo and shattering everything around it. The finale reconciles everyone. 


'Demonizer' is a grunge song with synthesizers that make the composition broad in choruses and concentrated in verses. 


'Red Balloons' - a minimalist melodic track, which with its experiments with sound differs from the traditional alternative rock type Muse.  


'Walk in the City' is an epic composition that has polyphonic melodies and sometimes sounds like a Bach organ as well as drum & bass verses. The energy is out of scale. 


And even more epic from the band Big Fun is the end of the album, but in order to hear it we need to listen to the whole album 'Oogley Boogley' on Spotify below. Rest assured, you will not regret it.
