It's a total firecracker, with its : :' mammoth riffs and splashy harmonies, all punctuated by stomping ': ,: sleigh-bells. It's the kind of accomplished song that comes from :, : a group with years of experience, and which you play on repeat : :' for days - because it's just that good. Since then, the Cardiff ': ,: indie outfit's been all over radio playlists and filling spaces :, : in 'ones to watch' lists, and now the months of hype has : :' culminated in the release of their debut, '1, 2, Kung Fu!' Does ': ,: is live up to build-up? Absolutely. :, : : :' The Svengali behind Boy Azooga is Davey Newington, whose rich ': ,: and diverse musical upbringing shines through on the album he :, : solely wrote and recorded (he performs and now records with pals : :' Daf Davies, Dylan Morgan and Sam Barnes). His parents played in ': ,: the BBC National Orchestra Of Wales, his grandfather played :, : drums for the Royal Marines, and he enjoyed a stint playing : :' drums as part of Charlotte Church's Late Night Pop Dungeon ': ,: covers band. The influences on '1, 2, Kung Fu!', then, were :, : always going to be varied. It's this amalgamation genres and : :' instrumentation that makes it such an exciting listen. ': ,: :, : The record swings effortlessly from the cantering, disco-rock of : :' 'Loner Boogie' to the Daft Punk-infused 'Face Behind Her ': ,: Cigarette', before sauntering into the movie-ready respite of :, : 'Walking Thompson's Park'. Even as '1, 2, Kung Fu!' traverses : :' several different genres, and the instrumentation swells and ': ,: contracts, Newington ensures the record feels more like one :, : continuous entity than a collection of disjointed songs. : :' Highlights come in the form of the crunchy, kaleidoscopic whirs ': ,: of 'Losers In The Tomb', which explodes into a huge churning :, : chorus, and the laid-back psychedelia of the brightly buoyant : :' 'Jerry' (which features Newington's dad playing violin). Both ': ,: radio-ready earworms. Really, though, within 35 succinct :, : minutes, Boy Azooga don't hit one bum note. : :' ': ,: Bright, exciting and full of effortlessly intelligent :, : songwriting, '1, 2, Kung Fu!' is an absolute joy to listen to. : :' Wickedly fun, and made to be played on festival stages this ': ,: summer, it's short glimpse into the musical landscape of :, : Newington's mind - and one that we're pretty bloody glad he : :' shared.
