Review:
With their sophomore release, 11 Acorn Lane return immediately to the classic rat-pack-esque sound-board (Mr Mambo, Everybody’s Here, The Bing Thing), and veer away now to continue their contemporary beat-infused sound (Gimme Some Fuel),
All the while they maintain a nod to the Las Vegas show orchestras of the famous desert lounges (Live It Up) sometimes incorporating more than a hint of French flavor (Les Amis), a touch of Mexican showdown mojo (Couldn’t Stop It) or a bit of Balkan brashness (Let It All Hang Out).
Their Eastern European influences are also revealed in more detail, with some intricately composed small orchestral barrel room arrangements (Budapest Basement, Tipsy Gypsy). A beautiful journey of kaleidescopic proportions.
