While the Pharaohs may have dwelt amidst and been ceremoniously embalmed within pyramids planted atop Ancient Egyptian sands, Fair Ohs seem set to build upon Salt Flats, the east London trio's latest single this week released via X-Ray Recordings. Continuing to emulate West African funk while channeling it potently through crackling, nostalgia-flecked psychedelia à la The Cryan Shames, the result is an inebriating and more significantly exhilarating brew of lo-fi jubilation, skin-splitting bongo backdrop and fleeting fretboard trickery from lead vocalist Eddy Frankel. Reminiscent of Bos Angeles were they intent on creating the delectable rather than remaining hellbent on the outrightly lethargic, it's now available on limited 'flexi-postcard' format (that'll be a customisable postcard to feed to the eye of the needle then).
