We're still jamming mightily to the Strawberry and post-Jam stuff, but ever productive, when Avey, Panda, and the boys hit Radio 1's Rob da Bank, they folded a couple newbies into the mix. From one animal to another, GvsB has Campire Songs's "Doggy" smearing into Here Comes The Indian's venerable "Hey Light," along with separate transmissions of "From A Beach (Bubbly Sun?)" and "On A Highway," the material you may not have heard previously. It's unclear if that first title's question mark's permanent, but the stuff is bubbly -- in a liquid, not gushy sense. The former's fairly nautical, sorta like sunken Beach Boys starring in a plaintive, psychedelic doo-wopping musical. "On A Highway" drifts with more a mechanistic, echo-y whisper (and some kind of Townsend-sounding pulse). Who knows? We wanna have some of what they're serving up at mushroom teatime.
