Porn Sword Tobacco - New Exclusive Olympic Heights [City Centre Offices - 2007]If you find your self enjoying late 70’s to early 80’s soundtracks, the more dated and synth based, cheesy and touched by corny emotional and cutesy air the better. Then you’ll glug down the unlikely and bizzare moniked Porn Sword Tobaccos third album like there’s no tomorrow. The album goes from one low grade synth scene to another- weaving in all manner of easy listening piano vibe, emotional guitar pickings, the odd foray into retro rhythmic element, wind and atmospheric sounds and all manner of thick as a door step audio cheesiness. It brings to mind overacted 80’s drama shows, emotional confrontations between two large collared lovers, set faced red sweat banded muscle men stepping out onto disco light lit dance floors ready for a slow motion fight sequence. This is music you have to approach in a tongue-in-cheek retro manner or not at tall. So if your willing and ready, pull on your florescent legwarmers, stick a pair Head Boppers on and link you hands with Mr Porn Sword Tabacco( real Name Henrik Jonsson) and travel peaceful in to cheese lined retro heaven. Roger Batty
