Vintage Crop: Kibitzer 12"
Geelongâs favourite sons Vintage Crop return this winter with their much-anticipated fourth album, âKibitzerâ. Running with the ball that 2020âs âServe To Serve Againâ punted forward, this album marks another energetic break towards the goal for Vintage Crop. âKibitzerâ sees the band define their field of play, more melodic at times, still bruising, forever droll. These ten tracks of âsnappy as elasticâ punk are packed with tensile riffs, hefty beats and witty refrains of everyman curiosity.
âKibitzerâ was written in quick response to their critically lauded âServe To Serve Againâ album. Harsh guitars, a brutish rhythm section and a knack for always having the right words at hand are still abundant, but this time Vintage Cropâs songs expand upon their forceful nature with greater harmonic arrangement. It was recorded by Jasper Jolley in one single session on a former apple orchard in Geelong, a backdrop that mirrors the bandâs own organic growth whilst highlighting their willingness to approach capturing their own sound their own way. The album was then mixed and mastered by Mikey Young.
âKibitzerâ delves into themes of identity, resilience and acceptance; some of the more upbeat notions that the band have dealt with to date. âCasting Callsâ opens the record, slamming through the speakers with gusto and setting the tone for the following 30 minutes. âItâs rolling, weâre rolling, weâre winding back the tape, weâre getting better with each takeâ sings lead songwriter Jack Cherry. Accepting your limitations and taking pride in your work are key themes on âKibitzerâ. In fact ideas around learning, growing and being able to take things in your stride are strongly felt through their entire body of work. These themes hit home with the albumâs title too, with Cherry feeling that âKibitzerâ is an apt way to describe a lot of the bandâs focus. âI feel like a lot of our lyrics over the years have been our unsolicited opinions on other peopleâs situations, the very definition of the word Kibitzer. So for this record we wanted to lean into that tendency by acknowledging it and even go as far as stamping it on the album cover.â
Musically the band have expanded their palette on this album; exploring a world of rhythmic harmony and newfound vocal melodies. Thereâs also greater lyrical elaboration and considered song structures at play. âThe Dukeâ is a mob of rollicking chants and heavy hitting, catchy to the core. âThe Bloody Warâ is a more sanguine reflection of tumbling drums, struck chords and shrill keyboard warble. âHeâs got the keys to the universe and theyâre hanging from his belt loop, his wit is as quick as lightning, his disapproving gaze is the thunder that followsâ pipes Cherry on âDouble Slantsâ, guitars chiming through the hubbub. âHold The Lineâ turns the wry amusement of dealing with cold callers into a fidgety anthem of knowing frustration. Whilst âSwitched Offâ even welcomes the introduction of horns (courtesy of Heidi Peel) to the groupâs repertoire, ushering in an unexpected serenity into their tough sound.
