Skingasm Records, the Kent based D.I.Y label made their début year count. Releasing not only the awesome début from Punching Swans but later on, one of YB!'s favourite releases of the year, Yee Naaldooshii. A split between labelmates and staples from the Kent scene, Frau Pouch and Bear Vs Manero. Check that out for sure, here is a sampler of it, in the form of the monsters ball-like Frau Pouch. Quite wonderful
lyrics
Flashing lights, brand new sights, this place electrifying
(There lies repression in his eyes, what's a beast without a bite?)
These peoples screams have different means this place now terrifying
(Popcorn, Candy Floss, in tents he feels the urge but mustn't vent)
Beast through hoop, man in suit, so much confusion
(Sound of music, clapping hands, but he doesn't understand
Small people grapple, flying through the air
So many sights and sounds, can't help but stare
Long nosed, grey piggy, stands on hind legs
Man in suit whipping, big kitty begs
The crowd goes quiet, man in suit stands
Direct addressing as he raises his right hand
*Ladies and Gentlemen. May I introduce to you, Miss Frau Pouch, the delectable circus queen.*
Frau Pouch tames kitty, catches is gaze
Feels his heart melting, feels no more rage
Post show liaison, tender embrace
A mutual sentiment, no hunt or chase
*meow meow*
The deed is done
