Voila! (Vinyl)

RIYL - The Seeds, The Chocolate Watchband, The Sonics. Les BOF! are Scotlands answer to the perennial question that quite possibly no-one ever asked. 60s French yÈ-yÈ garage, served up with panache by venerable Scottish fuzz beat Rock n Roll emissaries. Their sound brings with it a certain& je ne sais quoi - a fusion if you will, of unique, rarefied and aged elements of the garage beat scene, these chaps have been elegantly blended together from the likes of The Thanes, The No-Things, The Sensation Seekers and Preston Pfanz & the Seaton Sands.. Following the release of their debut album Nous Sommes les Bof! (CopaseDisques) the band have taken their sound both down and back up the British Isles and across the seas to their beloved European continent. Appearing on many an occasion at festivals such as Beatwave, Primitive, Gutterball and Purple Weekend to name but a few. 2018 saw a vintage year for the boys, with a memorable tour of some of Canada and Americas rowdiest east-coast haunts (featuring a live session on WFMU). After doing the rounds with all their other noisy vehicles, Les BOF! returned home to distil the sounds that had lay for some time in the cool, dusky corners of guitarist Angus McPakes home-built Ravencraig studio, a place where frugally almost none of the angels share is knowingly lost. Of course, whilst the exact secrets of its production are only known to the Master Distiller himself, the rumble and twang, the boom, the tonk and the ping are clearly expressed here for your delight and delectation. This 2019 release will surely help to further the reputation of any connoisseurs collection with the finest that France, Scotland & Ireland have to offer.
