![]() ![]() He’s funny, sharp and talks at a hundred miles an hour. ![]() Certainly it’s way better than it has any right to be: collaborating with Andy Butler of Hercules & Love Affair (particularly in evidence on the giddy pulse of lead single ‘I Do Believe’) was an inspired idea, and Darnell seem reinvigorated by the process. At its best, I Wake Up Screaming - the first Kid Creole studio album for 14-years, released on Strut (home of the great Disco Not Disco and Horse Meat Disco compilations, Mulatu Astatke and Ze Records reissues) - is as suave, strange and singular as anything he’s done. He looks fantastic for someone who recently celebrated his 61st birthday. August Darnell, however, looks like Kid Creole – in other words, a proper pop star, someone beamed in from somewhere rather more glittery than here. When you go to meet, say, Wild Beasts, lovely as they are, they look pretty much like you and me. ![]() Kid Creole "I Wake Up Screaming" Album Sampler by Strut ![]()
