Molotov Jukebox, Tropical Gypsy. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There is a certain romance to the idea of the nomadic gypsy life, it captures a distinct flavour that adds headiness and charm to the mundane of life and one that is steeped in historic values and colourful, vibrant principles. It is a way of life that makes the listener and onlooker think of music, of dark gatherings over burning desires and hot blooded fires and one so wonderfully echoed in the second album by Molotov Jukebox, the enrapturing Tropical Gypsy.

Molotov Jukebox, Gig Review. The Kazimier, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

The Kazimier could not have anticipated what lay in store. Elements of Gypsy Jazz and Swing backed by Latin beats with a thundering bass, Ska influenced guitar, Samba and Mariachi style trumpeting and what can only be describes as shredding violin combined to produce an awe inspiring sound that shook the rafters and the audience in equal measure. Molotov Jukebox’s long awaited L.P. Carnival Flower was released in the last week and if the second gig following the release at Liverpool’s Kazimier was anything to go by it will see the band soar to the heights they truly deserve. The album speaks for itself but where Molotov Jukebox shines is in the vibrant and electric energy they bring to their live performance ensuring fans will leave the venue short of breath and grinning from ear to ear.

Molotov Jukebox, Carnival Flower. Album Review.

The gradual rise to prominence of Molotov Jukebox is becoming a journey almost as fun and rewarding as the final destination. Following up previous E.P.’s Double Dare and Bang, divided by a flurry of energetic singles, a performance at Glastonbury, and acting appearances on both the big and little screen by lead singer Natalia Tena, Carnival Flower has been a long awaited debut L.P. from the swing band.
