PALOOKA 5 - MetroKino - LP - Blue Vinyl [SEP 12]

LP - Limited Edition Blue Vinyl. 

Palooka 5 play Sci-Fi Surf - think Blade Runner meets the B-52s, with a 'bad vibrations' modern twist. They tick all the boxes for that curl shootin', shape throwing, surf hoodang in space that you've always dreamed of!

The band released their debut long player Rough Magic in 2018, which was followed in 2020 with Ultra Marine, and then a re-issued/rebranded Rough Magic in 2021, due to demand. February 2023 saw the release of their Alien Grace long player, to many screams, even getting the full live side aired on the Gideon Coe show on BBC6 Music, followed by the four-track 'Radio Telescopes' 7" EP.

Now for something very slightly different, or not… Palooka 5 present MetroKino; eleven original tracks, inspired by Fritz Lang's 1927 expressionist classic 'Metropolis'. Expect a riot of 'live' instrumentation, retro flair and a whole new dimension inspired by one of cinema's most influential works. Strap in for a theremin, vocoder, retro synth ride, blended with the twang of 1960s-tinged sci-fi surf.
