Vintage Crop: Kibitzer 12"
Geelongās favourite sons Vintage Crop return this winter with their much-anticipated fourth album, āKibitzerā. Running with the ball that 2020ās āServe To Serve Againā punted forward, this album marks another energetic break towards the goal for Vintage Crop. āKibitzerā sees the band define their field of play, more melodic at times, still bruising, forever droll. These ten tracks of āsnappy as elasticā punk are packed with tensile riffs, hefty beats and witty refrains of everyman curiosity.
āKibitzerā was written in quick response to their critically lauded āServe To Serve Againā 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 Cropās 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 bandās 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.
āKibitzerā delves into themes of identity, resilience and acceptance; some of the more upbeat notions that the band have dealt with to date. āCasting Callsā opens the record, slammingĀ through the speakers with gusto and setting the tone for the following 30 minutes. āItās rolling, weāre rolling, weāre winding back the tape, weāre getting better with each takeā sings lead songwriter Jack Cherry. Accepting your limitations and taking pride in your work are key themes on āKibitzerā. 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 albumās title too, with Cherry feeling that āKibitzerā is an apt way to describe a lot of the bandās focus. āI feel like a lot of our lyrics over the years have been our unsolicited opinions on other peopleās 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.ā
Musically the band have expanded their palette on this album; exploring a world of rhythmic harmony and newfound vocal melodies. Thereās also greater lyrical elaboration and considered song structures at play. āThe Dukeā is a mob of rollicking chants and heavy hitting, catchy to the core. āThe Bloody Warā is a more sanguine reflection of tumbling drums, struck chords and shrill keyboard warble. āHeās got the keys to the universe and theyāre hanging from his belt loop, his wit is as quick as lightning, his disapproving gaze is the thunder that followsā pipes Cherry on āDouble Slantsā, guitars chiming through the hubbub. āHold The Lineā turns the wry amusement of dealing with cold callers into a fidgety anthem of knowing frustration. Whilst āSwitched Offā even welcomes the introduction of horns (courtesy of Heidi Peel) to the groupās repertoire, ushering in an unexpected serenity into their tough sound.
