Review

Uncut (10/02, p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...A testament to both their staying power and politically charged, pan-stylistic vision...they value Groucho Marx as much as Karl Marx."
Mojo (Publisher) (10/02, p.108) - "...11 songs that dance around notions of the noggin...[the] Mekons drop provocative hints as much as they hand down blunt judgements..."

Title Note

The Mekons: Tom Greenhalgh (vocals, guitar, autoharp); Jon Langford (vocals, guitar); Susie Honeyman (vocals, fiddle); Lu Headmonds (vocals, saz); Rico Bell (vocals, harmonica, accordion); Sarah Corina (vocals, bass); Steve Goulding (vocals, drums); Sally Timms (vocals); Ken Lite.

Additional personnel: Kelly Hogan, Edith Frost (vocals).

Recorded at Ken Sluiter Western Sound Labs, Chicago, Illinois.

The Mekons are beloved by their dedicated cult following for their spontaneous, rough-and-ready, anything-goes attitude, but it sounds like a great deal of time and care went into the making of OOOH! (an acronym for "out of our heads"). One of the most impressively produced Mekons albums in recent memory, OOOH! arrives in time to commemorate the 25th anniversary of these first-generation UK punks-gone-eclectic. That eclecticism makes itself felt with echoes of reggae, country, folk, and world music (witness Lu Edmonds's middle Eastern saz and Steve Goulding's exotic rhythm patterns on "Dancing in the Head"). "Take His Name in Vain" picks up the thread of drunken church hymns from the last album, and "The Olde Trip to Jerusalem" sports the mix of rock & roll energy, sophisticated lyricism, and political rebellion that is a major part of the Mekons magic. A quarter of a century down the road, the Mekons sound ready to go for another 25, a prospect for which their ravenous fans are undoubtedly game.
