Crazy Itch Radio

A hyperactive, channel-surfing collage of house music, Balkan brass, and bluegrass. Maximalist pop that feels like a carnival exploding in a radio station.

September 4, 2006 · XL Recordings

A relentless, kaleidoscopic explosion of joy and sonic mischief.

Moments Worth Listening For

The unexpected banjo pluck that drives the main hook of Take Me Back to Your House.

The way Hey U shifts from a Balkan brass stomp into a glitchy electronic breakdown.

The sprawling eight-minute atmospheric transition during the closing track medley.
