Kicking their heels on the outskirts, perhaps, while industry, media and punters focus all their attention on their more straightforward colleagues. Not so however, if Dublin no-wavers Cap Pas Cap are anything to go by. The ambition of this five-track, limited vinyl release (with free CD of the same songs) may be limited, but the music contained within is a thing of ragged beauty.
Instruments and sounds tumble on top of each other, all anchored by the rock solid funk of the rhythm section, pushing the likes of ‘Said Say It’ onto the dancefloor with joyful abandon. Out of step at home it may be, but their sparky, percussive post-punk ramblings are more than in tune with what’s going on elsewhere and in the age when a song can go round the world in a matter of hours, Cap Pas Cap could be set to fly.
