MEN IN SPEEDOS - 'AT A KALAMAZOO NEAR YOU'
It has been many years in our heads, several years in the compiling, several months in the mastering, and almost a year to get manufactured ... but it's arrived, and hopefully it's been worth the wait ... we think it has anyway.
The new album by Men In Speedos called 'At A Kalamazoo Near You' will be sold both digitally and by Limited Edition CD, designed by Daryl Campbell, with cover illustration by Gareth Morrison. You can find both the digital & Limited Edition versions for sale on this site.
Below are a series of photos of the Limited Edition version. Click here to go to the shop section to get your hands on one.
In our truly insane world, with our faith in leaders who hold money & power above morals and lives, we should value that which is the Kalamazoo.
Kalamazoo … the word is smooth, rhythmic, & almost musical.
A Potawatomi Native American, named Fleet Foot was set a task to win his bride; he had to successfully run from the settlement to a point on the river and back, before the water, then heating in a pot, boiled away. What he saw in the water was a mirage of things to come, and this is the Kalamazoo. We should take heed and look at what is potentially to come.
After listening to the album, you might well think what relevance does this have to it … absolutely none whatsoever, but it sounds nice, and it’s a nice story!
The album is in our usual vein of samples, mixed up with tracks, and this time in a slightly more coherent story, of a weekend trip in Amsterdam … although it wasn’t too coherent at the time.
The tracks kinda fit in a description of laid back, dubby, funky, electronica.
May the kalamazoo near you be open 24 hours a day.
Thanks as always
Men In Speedos
