Guffman - Harold Holt Swim Centre
Pete, Mack, Rhys and Dan comprise new Melbourne group, Guffman. It really didn't take long for the lads to drop a full length release at all, lighting it up with 15 tracks packed with both absurd lyrical flair and ridiculously catchy hooks. Clocking in at around 28 minutes, Harold Holt Swim Centre is fun, fuzzy and pretty fuckin' loveable. The album hits it's stride from the get-go with tracks George and Alleyway Hunta, both of which display their ability to pair solid songwriting with playful lyrics (" I've been thinking I should write that new bible - father, son, holy mackerel" ) Further down the tracklist tracks like Garbageman , Team Effort and Cash Only fly the flag high for Guffman. The album more than compensates for the lack of production value with a huge amount of catchy riffs, seriously, pretty much every song is incredibly infectious and has such a sense of fun about it.
