Boil King announce debut EP with the playful immediacy of 'Minerva.'

Gleefully unpredictable, the track is a maddening delight.

Boil King have a hard-won cult status among their loyal subjects. Gigs are instantly memorable for the songs' recurrent themes of crime as well as the musical juxtapositions: pop competing with chaos, ditties and ballads given equal footing. Their recent video for 'Homer' was similarly memorable in its profoundly disquieting cannibalisation of the Simpsons protagonist. Announcing their debut EP 'Green Whitaker,' which releases this Friday, new single 'Minerva' is appropriately strange yet addictive, complimented by a chaotic video that feels like Jarman's 'Jubilee' invaded by clowns.

The excitement of this band is in the possibilities their music illuminates through its carefully constructed anarchy. 'Minerva' is a reminder of this. Opening with a chorus of ringtone repetitiveness, "gonna go meet a Minerva" is delivered with earworming electronic colouring over incessant synth off-beats. These sections are offset with a simple howling response, which lends the song its shape. Clownish distressed synth melodies, echoed by the video, then take hold, and with a few more howls and a brash bass run, the song draws to a close. The track represents the free-thinking punk immediacy of Boil King, one side to the imaginativeness that makes them such a joyful band to apprehend (mutilated Simpsons imagery aside).
