“Dr. Cosmo’s Tape Lab “Coconut Summer Drop-In 432”
The Coconut Summer Drop-In 432 is brilliant parody-homage of The Beach Boys Party!, Smiley Smile, and Surf’s Up albums with ukuleles, bongos, casiotone keyboards, and gorgeous harmonies. Studio chatter and party atmosphere on the opener “Ready Steady Beach!” ring with authenticity.
Next the brilliant “Too Hot To Sleep” is a slow stoner theme with Spanish verses, and lovely Smiley weirdness. More gems include “She’s Crazy” and “Andiamo” which are catchy and fun. “High Inside (The Lost Frontier)” channels the song “Surf’s Up” perfectly. The album is peppered with atmospheric filler, but for Beach Boys fan this is a special treat. Highly Recommended.”
Having garnered many plaudits from fans and critics alike, the psychedelic sonic adventurers, Doctor Cosmo’s Tape Lab have wasted no time in recording a fresh batch of home baked audio goodies with their second release of 2015 – Coconut Summer Drop-In 432.
Pop music is once again the order of the day. With an attempt to keep the summer alive, there are twelve brand new sun drenched songs (written & recorded over three weeks in July 2015) that has them reaching for the ukuleles, bongos, and casiotone keyboards creating exotica flavoured fun times from the confines of their home studios in a rain soaked Glasgow.
