Customer Reviews
quirky and courageous...
An ode to the concept album with notions of dying and ghosts this is a most unusual record which draws you in with it's overwhelming sense of charisma.
'Who will cut our hair when we're gone?' is the kind of record that you'd buy because of it's cool artwork and odd name and it certainly doesn't let you down on first listen. If you like your music lo-fi with a huge dollop of originality then The Unicorns are very much for you. It's got all the pop sensibilities you'd need with an eclectic edge that makes you want to leap around your bedroom in your underwear. Not only this but their lyrics make for hours of amusement, what with the self referential 'i was born a unicorn' or the the outro to the adorable 'child star'.
Indeed, this album has everything. It's catchy, yet incorporates unusual bleeps and clatters coming at you from every which way. There's a heartwarming sense of true love that's gone into the album in it's entirety, you'd simply be mad to pass it up.
Unique
My 2 favourite records of this decade so far were both released in 2004 by Canadian bands. Arcade Fire's LP got most of the plaudits and it is a brilliant emotional record but The Unicorns only LP (sigh) is equally amazin in a totally different way. There is so much going on here, they cram more ideas into one song than some bands have in their careers and the songs are so catchy even on 1st listen. I played this record so much when it was first released and never really got bored and it still sounds fantastic today.
The fact that hardly anyone knows who The Unicorns are still today just makes the record more special for those of us who love it. I think WWCOHWWG will be one of those albums that in 20 years people will mention as a lost classic.
Genius
The unicorns, they're more than horses
this is a really ace album. if you're fed up with all the same old NME type stuff that's about at the moment then this is for you. it's quirky, original and weird and will definitely make you smile.
