Infectiously blokish enthusiasm.......2005-08-09

I've been listening to Summer Fruits at regular intervals for nearly twelve years, and it doesn't get old. The counterpoint is very clever, and the melodies infectious without being cloying or otherwise irritating. (You don't mind the inevitability of their swimming around in your head for a few hours after each listen.) I seem to recall that the Penguin guys describe the record as "blokish," and that's just the right term: these blokes (two female) -- both the 19-piece "Delightful Precipice" (which plays on 7 tracks) and the 4-piece "Human Chain" (which plays on 4) -- convey such a likeably enthusiastic attitude that you can't quite believe it when, listening hard, you notice the incredible complexity of the compositions.
