Ween - The Friends EP

Schnitzel Records

For their first new material in two years Ween have gone dance. Not hipster DFA/Ed Banger/nu rave dance. We’re talking cheesy, two in the morning drunken hen party euro chart dance. As if to emphasise the point Ween have enlisted the services of DJ Voodoo (the guy behind ‘Crazy Frog’) as producer on lead track ‘Friends’. It’s admittedly a very Ween thing to do, and criticising them for doing musical pastiche is like criticising a fish for breathing water. It may well provide Ween with their first freakish hit since ‘Push The Little Daisies’ but gawd, it’s irritating. All filler no killer.
