Athol Brose, 2016
Written by Pete Shelley, 1978
The album title refers to a Scottish drink made by mixing porridge, honey, whisky, and sometimes cream. That's all well and good, although this laid-back, cool '60s Euro-bossanova cover of the Buzzcocks is maybe more of a mojito or Old Fashioned vibe. The clave percussion and high, tinny strings offer up views of a beach side bar. This song was also covered ten years earlier on the band's album Bande à Part, sung by Mélanie Pain; this version is sung by Cuban-French singer Liset Alea, whose vocal delivery is, to my ear, delivered with more of a come-hither smirk.
