| · New music from the land of witches.
Shasbo starts off with an intro that sounds like a parody to the theme from People's Court and explodes into the huge "Jacques and Madeline." With keyboards like magic telephones, heavy gangsta bass lines, solid chaotic drumming and reverb-drenched vocals, the track then switches pace to a light and tempting bossanova (or tango) and the singing turns falsetto. The duo then effortlessly drops back into the main tune – it's awesome.
The rest of the album follows the powerful, dark carnival, taking time outs every now and then for slightly more reserved pop hooks. Using various sounds and instruments in skilled, interesting ways, Run Chico Run have put together their best album yet.
