BINGO TRAPPERS - Karaoke Parkman Blues LP

Highly recommended.

The 'Trappers do it again - love 'em!

We've previously written - and this is apt - "a style that’s undeniably indebted to 60’s sunshine pop, sounds as fresh as ever. For fans of: Muswell Hillbillies era Kinks, 60's pop, hooks and riffs."

The Amsterdam based Bingo Trappers are the moniker of songwriter and singer Waldemar Noë and multi-instrumentalist Wim Elzinga, who also creates the arrangements and recordings of their prolific oeuvre, which began in 1995 with the cassette More/Soul on the legendary Shrimper label. They’ve been active ever since, Rolling Stone mentions them as a special pick with their cd-only release Juanita Ave. in 2001, and in the last decade they’re on a steady vinyl-streak with the albums Sister Planet (’13), Elizabethan (‘18) and ‘Giddy Wishes (’20).

Their music is tasty enough to dub it a delicious stew of sixties-twangs, bluesy strums, luring slide-guitars or pedal-steels, warm vocals and tickling choirs.
