Milk Kan

Bling Bling Baby

Label: PIAS Recordings Release Date: 05/12/2005

11829
-Raz- by Raziq Rauf December 2nd, 2005

With this single Milk Kan *takes you down a wonderful road of folksy antitude. Bowling out of your stereo like a less political *Billy Bragg, this acoustic trio comment on modern society with a wit and twang that is increasingly noted and lauded today. As we demand more from our music than mere dance moves, the bands of the moment deliver. _‘Bling Bling Baby’ _is a bouncing circus of Saahf London rhetoric foiled by a mildly ska following and a lightning snarl from the kind of singer that Mike Skinner could never be. The sheer quality of the lead track is backed up by a couple more stellar annotations of the apparently quite dastardly world in which we live. Tailored exquisitely for breakfast radio, daytime radio, drivetime radio and your local indie club, there is surely no way that this can fail.
