Filthy Apes – Colour Café

Single Review

 


You don’t have to be a lobster to notice that animals are leaving the jungles and forests by the dozen to play in Perth bands. Some of them cleverly disguise themselves as humans, but one band leaves no doubt about the fact that they are apes, with their ape faces and their on-stage banana throwing antics.

Filthy Apes recently spent some time in captivity, recording their single Colour Café. Hang on. Are they really apes? Wait… no … they can’t be. Only humans could play this well!


Two guitars set the scene: one providing a bluesy twang and the other backing it up with flock of fuzziness. It’s a skillful contrast that works spectacularly to capture attention throughout the track.

Grunge fans will appreciate the air-guitar-inducing shredding that kicks in just before the three-minute-mark. It certainly wowed the lobster, who could have listened to just that part again and again all night. All the stunning guitar work is complemented with Grohl-esque vocals, singing lyrics wound tightly in metaphors.

Listen to this track while eating a banana. Be careful not to overdose on potassium and guitar tones.
