The Race Against Time Hots Up

the rebel, aka ben waller of the country teasers, has been scouring the limits of perception and good taste ever since his band laid waste to umpteen toilets around the uk in the 90s. his solo guise takes the form of outsider folk drawls that are often infected with primitive electronics, noise bursts, skewed takes on the world and, most of all, an effortless songwriting ability that doesn't conform to any preconceived notions of what it should be. 'the race against time hots up' is a big time return to songwriting from country teasers' frontman ben "the rebel" wallers. wallers' albums are always something to be savoured - but skewed, experimental, sardonic pop music is his metier and the race against time hots up is up there with his best albums (such as cult favourites "prawns" and "satan is real again"). check out the songs "tyme", "colaboration", "adam, eve, mary and fumeha" or "keen air for chasseur john" - in fact check all tracks, this album is pop-chock-stock full o' goodies from the renegade master.
