The first solo album from the front man of the Welsh psych-folk pop quartet Gorky"s Zygotic Mynci. From the sunny sibling harmonies of The Magic Numbers to the willfully kooky confections of Devandra Banhart"s "Wyrd folk" underground, the Mynci influence is everywhere. "Chops" is a high point in Childs" trajectory of inventive, inspiring, oblique pop music. A deliciously meaty 33-minute feast offering some of his most exciting and varied songs to date. From the terrifying Vangelis-meets-Black-Lace disco blowout of "Donkey Island", through the majestic vocal harmonies of "Circus Time", to the exquisite closing 8-minute techno/folk crossover landmark "First Time I Saw You", this record packs more musical ideas into its compact running time than most people manage in an entire career.
