Les Musicos #3

The third volume of Les Musicos brings the chaos up to eleven as the band — drummer, bassist, and their crew — sets up a full-blown rock performance right inside a fine china shop, much to the absolute horror of the wide-eyed shopkeeper watching his precious porcelain collection tremble on the shelves. Subtitled Porcelaine fine, this 2006 Bamboo Édition album delivers the series' signature slapstick energy in one perfectly absurd image: towering speakers, flailing instruments, and breakable treasures teetering on the edge of disaster. If you love comedy that's one power chord away from catastrophe, this one belongs on your shelf — carefully.
