E.P Review: Legs on Wheels - Idelia E.P
Manchester's Absurdist Prog Pop explorers Legs on Wheel are back with their new 'Idelia' E.P; three tracks that straddle multiple genres. Ryan Doyle Elward guides us through it. ‘ Milktop Mandy’ opens Idelia E.P with incipient psilocybin affective, an unfurling dream surging into a 70s prog-rock collage; a careening freakshow caravan destined for adventure, and thus an anomaly compared to the remaining material from Legs on Wheels’ latest release, since the next two tracks don’t sustain the same sort of pace and direction in an exploration of the hot sonic landscape under the guidance of a rather puerile narrative as established in their antecedent. ‘ Move Closer ’ is smooth, cool tones from mouth to mind with a basis of funk for the body in a way that is Steve Miller Band , that is Steely Dan . For some these are jams, but for another majority, songs of the kind elicit little more than a shrug. Legs on Wheels Funk/jazz
