Tsars

Description

The Tsars recreate a musical era that never existed. A Land That Time Passed Over where Henry Mancini and Ennio Morricone mingled with the go-go surf beatnik scene. Where Dick Dale recorded a version of “Haitian Fight Song”. In their world, the influence of the exotic is not subordinated into the idea of kitsch. The Tsars have invented a musical vocabulary that draws from hipster popular culture, Surf, Tiki and exotic themes that combine with a Burroughs-esque self-conscious world-weariness. Elements of rock, jazz and whatever else the band has absorbed from being raised by the television set and the wolves of a lifetime of playing music come spilling back out in sometimes startling forms.
