With the genuine desire to create a continuation of the FABS early vibe, The Poppermost is the one-man mission of Glasgow multi-instrumentalist Joe Kane – whose attention to detail is impeccable; the structure and arrangements, the playing, the sentimentality is all there along with the in-jokes, creating songs that satisfy your innermost Fab Four desires.\u00a0
The Poppermost finds Joe in his garage studio playing everything himself. Utilising an array of instruments, microphones and recording techniques, all glued together by bargain basement analogue junk that builds up to the very first Poppermost album, \u201cHits To Spare.\u201d
Short, sweet and exactly as they used to make \u2018em, \u201cHits To Spare\u201d does exactly what it says on the sleeve. Kicking off with an enthusiastic \u201c1-2-3-4,\u201d the opening track \u201cEgg And Chips,\u201d with its solid back beat-driven Cavern Club stomp and ascending \u201cah-ah-ah\u2019s\u201d sets the scene for what follows. In just over half an hour, \u201cHits To Spare\u201d packs in a multitude of double-tracked vocals, three-part harmonies and major sixth endings that\u2019ll leave you giddy and dizzy, dizzy, dizzy Miss Lizzy.
Within these carefully considered grooves there are rockers galore like \u201cGoodnight Georgia Peach\u201d and \u201cLaziest Fella In The Realm.\u201d Then there is the chugging, chiming \u201cTicket To Ride\u201d inspired \u201cPark And Ride\u201d alongside the romantic balladry of \u201cGet It Down.\u201d Whether it\u2019s the Lennon-like \u201cyou wanted the werld and I gave you the werld\u201d here, a woody McCartney bass-line there, a multitude of 12-string chiming George middle eight\u2019s, with everything held in place by a perfect Ringo compressed backbeat, there\u2019s a song for every occasion.
\u201cUltimately, this album was about making a very fresh, quick and positive pop record, utilising the recording aesthetics and sound of my favourite music,\u201d says Kane, who is currently putting together a live version of the band that\u2019ll be ready to get people twisting and shouting as soon as possible.
Based out of Glasgow, Scotland, Joe Kane stays a busy man and has a busy track record, having recorded under various aliases such as Dr. Cosmos\u2019 Tape Lab (You Are The Cosmos) and Radiophonic Tuckshop (Last Night From Glasgow) while working with countless artists including the late, great Neil Innes (The Rutles), Joey Molland (Badfinger), Alan White (Plastic Ono Band), BMX Bandits and Ette. He can also be heard kick starting the recent Ex Norwegian & Friends tribute album to Liverpool singer-songwriter Jimmy Campbell, Sing Jimmy Campbell with a fantastic take of his classic Rockin\u2019 Horse track \u201cYes It Is.\u201d
This latest project, The Poppermost, exists to remind us of a time when the world shook to the giddy monophonic thunk of Merseybeat, to a time of Dansettes and desert boots, when R&B didn\u2019t mean Rhianna and Beyonce and an MP3 was Harold Wilson and a couple of his Westminster mates out on the razz down Carnaby Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
