Cribshitter - Goin’ Soft
Seven years after the party-hardy anarchy of, “Acapulco,” scene-stealing chameleons Cribshitter return with a slew of polished sardonic straight-face shenanigans with a heart of gold. Slick, prickly insinuations brew lewd moods inside rainbow grooves as yacht-rock runs aground on languid country twang and done-me-wrong songs stocked in pop-culture name-drops, supple subtle cuckolding and grimacing whimsy sing between sweet steel-guitar, electric piano and braying saxophone; an immersive, subversive circus seamlessly weaving dark humor embedded in sunny vibes and miniature musical interludes cruising among pedigreed medleys. Sorted stories bordering incorrigible metamorphosis where beats meander between tropical breezy and jukebox boppy, “Soft,” boxes lofty sophistry with sumptuous punches landing loving conundrums for smart art-pop knockouts, blissfully fictionalized surprises and fine-tuned irony, both sinister and innocent, sultry and huggable.
