27 years (!) after their founding in 1990, the album is now coming out, which is named after a bird for the first time and bears the beautiful name “Flamingo“. However, a white peacock is depicted on the front and back cover. Were there no flamingo images available, or does the band want to confuse us? The inner cover, however, immediately evokes thoughts of inflatable flamingos.
What thoughts does the music evoke?
Already during the first minutes of listening, it is positively noticeable that THE PEACOCKS have not changed much. They still deliver the intricately arranged songs in rockabilly, less frequently in psychobilly attire, which manage to create groovy melodies that make you involuntarily hum along, sway, and simply feel good.
These sweet melodies still burrow into your brain and make you sing along with the chorus. Particularly noteworthy here is “Hooray“.
The band may have become a bit calmer in terms of tempo with their twelve songs, although I would take that with a grain of caution. It could also be due to the recording, which comes across as somewhat smoother despite all its rough edges compared to the previous albums.
Where do you prefer to see bands? Right, live in a club!
Live, the band has always been a reliable act worth watching. Especially in a small club, the energy comes across perfectly. The three Swiss have more energy on stage than some bands that are twice their size. The guys are perfectly in sync, look cool, and make even cooler music. What more could a Billy heart want?
You can see the band starting at the end of March. The exact tour dates are available on their homepage. Attendance is highly recommended!
