Budokan Boys - That's How You Become a Clown
Finally the explanation surfaces on the creepy clown issue. And how simple, someone just needed to go up and talk to a clown. Thank you Budokan Boys, just wanted to say this straight off because this was something of a mystery. The amazing thing is, clowns are recruiting, an unknown fact. Posing a new question... is this Tymbal Tapes release a subtle promotion for joining this edge of town society?
There was a catchy tune back from 1981 conveying the jingly join us vibe. Not that these songs are comparable, but That's How You Become a Clown and John Carpenter's Halloween II theme song both have a subversive electronic wizardry. Together asking or entrancing listeners for the donning of some sort of mask and butcher knives. Fortunately held off back then, but Budokan Boys level up with their sincere dialogue, above the captivating synthesizer and beats. What to do...
Most pertinent task is to finish describing the four other tracks on this release. All seem to tell a story or describe peoples emotions. The gamete of humor to horrific is explored on this composition. From Old Man Jones and his neglected hungry dog to the super trippy Good Times Street, the diversity in delivery is excellent. Each track simultaneously off kilter and clearly on point. With repeated listens, the well chosen details becoming understandable punctuation in sonic beauty. Rhythm, samples, dubs and notable narration make That's How You Become a Clown, a diversion all should follow.
Jeff T Byrd and Michael Lee are the duo of Budokan Boys. Currently in Vienna, with four shows in Poland next week, be sure to attend if you are near. That's How You Become a Clown is one of four cassettes released by Tymbal Tapes in the September four tape bundle. Currently this tape is still available, but the bundles are down to only one remaining. It's interesting Tymbal HQ mentioned Ralph Records in their bandcamp description. Very accurate even to the point both Ralph Record's mainstay and Budokan Boys are originally from the same state, Louisiana. Another early record label came to mind, Booji Boy Records....
