In 1987, the music world
was still recovering from the
back-to-Amorioan-rools move
ment inspired by Bruce
Springsteen's hugely success
ful (finally) release. Born in ihn
USA when an English band
fronted by an odd-looking
bloke named Karl Wallinger
struck the charts with "Ship of
Fools."
As the singer/songwriter for
World Party, sporting "John
Lennon" glasses and
disheveled hair, Wallinger
crooned his retro-folk song
about how society in general
was made of idiots.
Although facing criticism of
"sixties retread," "Beatles rip
X
Review by Pat Malach
off" and "eco-musicion,"
World Parly found its niche,
and "Ship of Fools" ended up
in the Top 40
Now, in 1993, when sixties
retread, eco-retro hands such
os R K.M. et al have become
standards, World Party is hack
with its third release. Bang! —
and it does.
Wollinger Jumps into the
fray immediately with the
record's first cut, "Kingdom
Come." a funky-folk sound
with hluegrass guitar arid that
consistent eco-messuge.
While "Ship of Fools" was
no celebration of optimism,
the happy-go-lucky sound ren
dered the words somewhat
ironic or irreverent.
The tone of such songs on
Hang! is a little less of the "It’s
the end of the World, and I
Feel Fine" nature, and has
more of a do-soinething mes
sage
"Kingdom Come" tells us.
