The ninth and final show in the Gulls Window Circus 7″ series covers singles ‘outside of rock’. That is an open-ended descriptor for records that may have rock elements, but live more comfortably in other genres. For example, we have Holger Czukay (Can) in a 2011 7″ as Bison, a balearic act (as is Torn Sail). The Babalooneys would be most appropriately filed under ‘surf’. Arab Strap have been a rock duo positively, but their current sound pushes beyond. Marcel Bontempi is a contemporary artist with an identifiable 50s sound, in today’s show doing a cover of The Sonics. Dengue Dengue Dengue are a Peruvian duo, today doing a cover of a track from Giuliano Sorgini’s ‘Africa Oscura’ LP. That is just a handful – every track deserves a plug, and if I wrote this again, I may have highlighted an entirely different few of the records.
