Joe A buys records Blokeacola is the strongest lyricist in the underground scene right now. His vocal barbs are subtle - like well crafted lures from an expert fly fisherman. Speaking of fishermen, he also has a brilliant ear for what I would call hooky discordance. Some might call it psych-jangle. And his clean guitar tones certainly bear resemblance to the jangle genre but what Blokeacola does well, is maintain the hooks + lures consistently throughout the album. Bravo! Favorite track: Salami Lama.

Uncle Ears “Taste The Brainbow” comes at you with a laid back beat and that Diamondesque vocal. (Wait, now I am also hearing 70’s Springsteen.) This is top shelf indie pop stuff. Delivered beautifully. It’s one thing to take a concept to record – it’s another to get out of your own way and let it stay simple. Well done. Favorite track: Taste the Brainbow.

John Carroll The best Welshman in China by a long shot. Gorgeous production with 60's psych vibe... How is it possible to outdo 'Mango Insane'?! Blokeacola just keeps getting better... It's a toss up between Wig Game and Salami Llama for me! Great stuff!! Favorite track: Salami Lama.

Did I kill the weeds in my soul? Fumes of anthracite Odysseys and oddities Vortex of stimuli My head says that my heart weeps A TikTok suicide Parody versus pastiche Twin sisters side by side Train wreck chinny reckon government Captured the zeitgeist then let it out the bag There's a turkey in the trapezium I'm the wisest fool that you have ever known Death squads in El Salvador Dress like a mannequin Set loose all the avant guard dogs Afternoon Arcadians Pablo Escobar had hippos I'm here live, I'm not a cat Scroll past allegations of genocide Flaccid artifact Will I ever make kimchi? Future ball is drowning I'm back-combing my life away Playing devil's advocate for the real devil First signs of rust or specks of grey I am not a robot, click here to continue We are just the stories that we tell ourselves I am not a robot, click here to continue We are all products of calculated risks I am not a robot, click here to continue Why should all the prizes go to busy, empty men? I am not a robot, click here to continue Default position of false equivalence I am not a robot, click here to continue

We're all gonna work on Maggie's botfarm forevermore You can't see something That you don't even know the word for She lives on the side of the fence Where they are legal aliens And she says the best Americans are all Canadians Is there any culture left to counter now? I'd root out my proprium if I knew what it was Say hello to your combover future boy Freedom is ignorance waiting to be conquered Facile analogies then a bunting deflection Black holes may merge with the light of a trillion suns They wrote me off as meritocratic extremism And now it's the case That not even Facebook wants my data

My little crony Spewing your thought vomit Rainbow of chaos Spending my pound coin sun My little crony Pulling strings like number ten Angry cocaine bear Sing me your one tooth blues My little crony Unrequited self love My little crony Always failing upward Nonsense brain jail Quit while your behind Lying flat because they flat out lie Dogshit princess Bigoted toothpaste Crescent of crisps Meet yourself halfway Poor man's pizza Barfing on the Brooklyn Bridge Rubbernecker life Bear bag, oil slick Horsemeat scandal Lucky little labyrinth Trousers inside out on the metro train Amputations will resume It's not funny because it's true Renaissance schadenfreude Satellites for socialites

You look like something special But you're just a greedy seagull That slipped and fell in curry sauce We're building rocket ships We're blasting off to space But we can't even pick up dog shit here on Earth Man follow man then man get angry When he see what man do I'm the international man of finding everything a mystery Pyromaniacs make good smokescreens Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions Godlike technology I'm the international man of finding everything a mystery Toxic loops of hopelessness Autopilot existence the path of least resistance I'm an international man Operation mindfuck White gibbous moon for pot luck Appearance is all, substance nothing Traverse the peaks of fame Through blizzards of novocaine Marxist memes for OxyContin teens I'm the international man of finding everything a mystery I've been playing poker with excess sunlight Petty time of suspicion, culture war of attrition Polarise and/or infantilise I'm the international man of finding everything a mystery Art, artifice or artifact Crypto-fascists live where the elves and munchkins dwell I'm the international man of finding everything a mystery

Common enemy comet, don't cry Scowling clown, try You love to trip but you hate to stumble Glue factory steed riding high Shoeless ruby sculpting the air Thousand yard stare Your monoglot monoclot man Redacted and devoid of a plan Give that economy a tickle, keep it moving and laughing Sardonic tonic, lukewarm fear, fake tan logic will abound Look, we covered it in tarmac, time vampires in our hands My cheeks light up like a flashlight fish Whenever you're around

Criminality means big entertainment dollar I pay my way now just to live in my head Somewhat saturnine drift and a big boondoggle Monster fatberg dilettante critical mass Medusa's petrifying rictus All God's children stealthing and ghosting What was his morning schedule? Drone bomb a wedding, get coffee with Jerry Seinfeld The phallus tip of the iceberg Rearrange your mental furniture Trapped in a toxic fug Staircase words leading to nowhere Your jaded tower of heartbreak Dogmeat general, he got nothing on you What's the scale of our indifference? Art is a lie that tells the truth This department store museum Is the stuff that screams are made of
