Tremolo Beer Gut - Ask Not What The Tremolo Beer Gut Can Do For You... LP (vinyl)
Danish instrumental Surf veterans The Tremolo Beer Gut return with their seventh studio album, Ask Not What The Tremolo Beer Gut Can Do For You... A wonderfully cinematic blend of Surf guitar, Spaghetti Western twang, Exotica, Garage Rock and Noir atmosphere, this is an ambitious and highly evocative collection from one of Denmark's finest instrumental bands.
Drawing on the worlds of classic film scores, Noir cinema, Pulp Fiction, cult television and vintage Exotica, the album unfolds through 15 instrumental tales populated by grifters, gentleman losers, tropical adventurers, mysterious strangers and unlucky romantics. The Grifter, The Only Game In Town, The Rise & Fall of The GBT, Brenda & Mitch and Killer Negroni establish the cinematic mood, while Monkey Drums & Tiki Drinks heads off into wonderfully exotic territory.
Alongside the band's trademark twangy guitars, Ask Not What The Tremolo Beer Gut Can Do For You... brings in trumpet, trombone, vibraphone, organ and Ondes Martenot to expand the sound and atmosphere. Further highlights include The Gentleman Loser, Mint 400 (Muito Mais), Brass Knuckles, Broken Dreams, Phnom Penh and the closing Lonesome Foghorn Blows. Pressed on black vinyl, this is Surf music with a remarkably vivid cinematic imagination.
