Supergrass "I Should Coco" (1995)
The band, originally called Theodore Supergrass was formed by
singer/guitarist Gaz Coombes and bassist Mickey Quinn. They recorded
"I Should Coco" at Sawmills recording studio, an old mill in Cornwall.
The band were young (late teens/early 20s) and ready to have fun. They
were trying different things with the upbeat and fun "Alright" or the
rocking-yet-melodic opener "I'd like to know"
which itself was created by playing their song "the Strange Ones"
backwards on cassette and writing a new song around that sound.
The album is bursting with youthful energy and little cheekiness and actually led to Steven
Spielberg approaching the band about making a Monkees-style tv show;
they declined.
I prefer their second album "In it for the Money" but this a fun and varied record.
