Single Review: King Charles – Love Lust/Mr Flick (Mi7 Records)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 12 November 2009
I saw the psychedelic assault on the senses that is King Charles in a pub in Angel earlier this year, and Charlie certainly has a look about him that screams rock star. He wouldn’t get a job in finance, anyway. But let’s not let that influence our opinion of his music.
Both of the songs on this double-A side single have a rhythmical quality, striking a groove and taking the listener into a raga of chanted choruses. Covering both the personal and the political, the first is about the contradictions of love and lust, while the second is about being restricted by ‘The Man’… man.
It’s good stuff. Although, with both tracks only about two and a half minutes long I felt a bit cheated. I want these grooves to go on for at least five minutes each to get into a mind meld of psyche-rock! IM
