Rating: THE REVIEW
"Junta" is the (double) debut album of the band from Vermont and, without a doubt, it turns out to be an excellent musical potpourri, although at times it can seem oxidizing. Written and produced by themselves, it was initially distributed after concerts even before having a music contract; and it is precisely the live dimension that will give, especially in the U.S.A., a vast and loyal following for the group.
The album begins with "Fee" which is a fun and mischievous track, developing on an almost Caribbean base. The cabal is refreshed in the next two songs, but it is with "Golgi Apparatus" that the record transforms into a synallagma. The courtyard windows are all closed and then it is possible to see Anastasio (the Pope, the Byzantine Emperor, or the guitarist?) intent on descending the stairs. "Dinner And A Movie" is a lanky tableau vivant, while "David Bowie" (the song) takes on the appearance of a raspberry.
The second disc sometimes positions itself as a typo or like a cold cut platter. "Fluffhead" starts from the beginning but arrives too soon, while "Fluff's Travel" allows us to enjoy a polite and satisfying appetizer.
