ALBUM: Giant (1986)
MVC Rating: 4.0/$$$
New wavers of the 1980s run to your closet, pull out that box of vinyl and find the Woodentop’s very excellent album, ‘Giant.’
If you did what I did oh so many years ago, you played it once or twice and put it in the closet without any real testing. Very good album with all sorts of swirling rhythms. Drummer Benny Staples is excellent for this upbeat, bopping music.
They have a subdued B-52s feel, with a British accent. Like Morrissey on happy juice.
