REVIEW - FILTHY NELLY "Tranquilize This!" (2015)

Filthy Nelly "Tranquilize This!"
Release date: September 17th, 2015
Running time: 44:27, 11 tracks


Filthy Nelly are a six piece from The Netherlands: Katastrof (lead vocals), Trackie (bass), Ngk Sélavy (drums, percussion), Crazy Dwarf (guitar, vocals), Don Dirtbag (accordion vocals) and Miss Crisis (violin, vocals). The band was established in 2005 as a folk punk band and their first recording was a 6 track EP released in 2006 and titled “Fast Feet Galore”. However, their sound evolved, adding some drops of Balkan, gypsy and reggae music to the songs from their debut album "Festival!" (2010) and they labeled their style as Eurospeedfolk .

Tranquilize This!” is their second album and sometimes they remind me of The Tower of Dudes. My fave tracks are “Party of One”, an upbeat fiddle fronted song, “(Don’t Be a) Negative Nancy”, and Irish polka song with a Mr. Irish Bastard twist, and “If I Had Known”, a British folk-rock showcasing fiddle and accordion.

Other interesting tracks are “Bottle of Vodka”, an amazing folk-rock number with a The Barely Works spirit, “Brussels Midi” and “Quite Right”, with a Madness sounding arrangement. Fans loving reggae will enjoy “New Day” and fans loving French accordion songs will appreciate “The Painter”.

Tranquilize This!” is packed in a digipack. Liner notes include the band’s line-up, studio credits, thank yous and artwork credits, together with booking contacts. The album can be bought from Bandcamp, so go ahead, stream the songs and, if you like it, buy the album.
