Although only was a year, it seemed an eternity waiting the newest opus from Fergus and Geronimo. Funky Was The State of Affairs, their sophomore full album , recording after a three-year series of an often brilliant D.I.Y. singles and a debut album recorded under a variety of labels, is probably the purest expression of Jason Kelly-Andrew Savage: eclectic musical worldview, with songs so unpredictable as incredibly catchy and inventive.
In January of 2009, Fergus and Geronimo was born out of the musical interests of two boys in the Denton, Texas DIY scene. Andrew Savage is one half of this duo, who’s working with Teenage Cool Kids since 2006 . The other half is Jason Kelly most famously of the indie Texas scene as former member of Wax Museum and producer of Teenage Cool Kid’s full-length ‘Foreign Lands.’, there was when they met and born the idea to draw their influences through a project which called Fergus & Geronimo, taking these names from the rival child gang leaders in the irish movie War of the Buttons.
The collaboration surely born from a mutual admiration for Frank Zappa and at less to me their songs are sort of conceptual interpretations of their works and can function as a back door to Zappa music.
No disappointments here, this duo makes sweet experimental lo-fi aesthetic music that anyone not too soured to smile surely can enjoy…
