One might have a feel that Gentle Stranger’s absurd is drowned out by the overall chaos, but – contrary to appearances – this is a skilfully crafted mosaic, combining elements of folk, rock, jazz, shanties, trippy electronics and no wave. And when you think this is it, they serve the charming and concise “Obvious As Snow” at the end. I’m sold on this troupe of clowns, I’d really like to see them live.
