Carpet Madness is the debut album from latest Fat Cat signing, Get Back Guinozzi. Full of colour and character, it comprises a unique blossoming of hybrid sources – infectiously poppy, quirky and breezy, with a strong French slant and a wide range of influences taking in the likes of Talking Heads, The Feelies, The Smiths, early B-52′s, King Sunny Adé, Lee Perry, Rip Rig & Panic, Ariel Pink, The Slits, The Cure, Animal Collective, Jonathan Richman, and Serge Gainsbourg.
Infused with the exoticism of reggae, dub, African music, Tropicalia, and Cambodian music from the ’60s, the breadth of sources GBG draws upon, allied by singer Eglantine Gouzy’s skewed narratives and heavily-inflected English, give the project a distinctive individuality. Now comprising a 5-piece band based between London and the South of France, Get Back Guinozzi is driven by two French friends, Gouzy and Fred Landini.
Get Back Guinozzi will undertake their first proper bout of live touring this Autumn. The band’s debut single ‘Low Files Tropical’ will be released on September 14th.
Sample this delightful band below, with their cover of the Junior Mervin classic ‘Police & Thieves’.
