Bobuck - Clank Clank Clank
Review by Benjamin
Bobuck's latest album, Clank Clank Clank, is an eclectic mix of experimental sounds and avant-garde compositions that will leave listeners intrigued and mesmerized. The album is a testament to Bobuck's creative genius, as he seamlessly blends different genres and styles to create a unique sonic experience.
From the opening track, "Clank Clank Clank," Bobuck sets the tone for the rest of the album with its off-kilter rhythms, dissonant melodies, and surreal lyrics. The album continues with tracks like "The Slowest Song," which features haunting vocals and a sparse, atmospheric arrangement, and "The Ghost of a Ghost," which showcases Bobuck's flair for the unexpected with its jarring shifts in tempo and instrumentation.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Ballad of Buzzard and Sloth," a haunting and beautiful duet that showcases Bobuck's skill as a songwriter and vocalist. The song's sparse instrumentation and mournful lyrics create a sense of longing and sadness that lingers long after the song has ended.

- Notes from back sleeve:
- "An experiment by Bobuck messing with the Residents' Meet The Residents album"
- Notes from digipak inner panel:
- "In the midst of writing music for The Ghost Of Hope back in 2014, Charles Bobuck had what he thought was a musical ephiphany, The Residents were very focused on their 40th Anniversary and he felt that a Special 40th anniversary Album should be released. The Train wreck album seemed fine but very removed from the anniversary celebration.
- So he proposed an album about the Meet the Residents Album from 1974. It would be new material but include versions of the Songs from Meet The Residents cobbled out of samples taken directly from the original recordings. It would be autographical. It would include stories and memories from making the recording forty years earlier.
- The idea was received with Little interest. In response, he decided to record some demos to show what the new arrangements could sound like.
- Still, the idea did not catch on, and neither did The Ghost of Hope which was shelved due to the touring schedule, so Bobuck started working on What Was Left Of Grandpa and the Demos were filed away.
- Three years later, 2017, Hardy Fox and Walter Robotka were figuring out the Hacienda Bridge newsletter schedule and subjects. They wanted to do an issue on robots, AI, computer music - that kind of thing. Walter asked Charles Bobuck if he had any music that would fit into that theme for a CD to go with the issue.
- He remembered that he had the demo redo's of Meet the Residents that used a lot of hi-tech Computer driven splicing.
- Hardy and Walter agreed the demos should be released. After a bit of reworking, they were fashioned into an EP CD called Clank, Clank, Clank.
- It is the sound that robots make when they dance."
