The Moorings "Nicky's Detox" Mast Production MP011214
Release date: December 1st, 2014
Running time: 16:13, 5 tracks
Beer or wine? Why should you choose if you can love both of them? This could be what The Moorings had in mind when they started to work on their 5 track EP “Nicky’s Detox”.
Help yourself to a beer! A pint of stout? “A Lush on the Lash”, a stop and go number with a Canadian flavour and sing-along chorus.
One for the road? A jar of Kilkenny? “Shandon Bells”. Before listening to this song I thought that it could be a cover of Christy Moore’s song written by Jimmy McCarthy “The Mad Lady and Me”, and Frankie McLaughlin would be singing the Sinead O’Connor parts. But I was wrong, it’s an amazing folk punk original with great fiddling, banjo picking, gang vocals and a Sex Pistols sounding riff at the beginning.
A glass of Riesling? “Marie d’ la Madeleine”, another tale about a woman. An upbeat number sung in French and a “chanson” updated to the 21st century spirit.
Another one? Maybe a glass of Crémant d’Alsace? “Encore”, take your girl and dance to the accordion.
Are you feeling dizzy? Sit down and listen to “Nicky’s Detox”, a sort of a movie OST instrumental in the “The Third Man" vein.
“Nicky’s Detox” is packed in a gatefold sleeve. Line-up and credits are stated on the sleeve, but no lyrics have been included. Anyway, the lyrics to “A Lush on a Lash” can be found on the YouTube video.
The 4 guys and the girl from Sélestat have opened their musical universe to new sounds (and language). Not only have The Moorings delivered Celtic punk anthems, but also songs with a French twist sung in their mother tongue.
