Smerins Anti-Social Club – The Alibi

Originally recorded and released as a single in 2009, Smerins Anti-Social Club has re-released The Alibi as part of their first full-length, Primordial Cordial (February 2013). Combining the 20’s and 30’s influenced jazz band, with this awesome vocal from Nuala Honan, the song recalls, even though it pre-dates, the sound of Caro Emerald

Make no mistake, however, Smerins Anti-Social Club is a band first and foremost. The guest vocals used throughout Primordial Cordial, add a smattering of texture and variety to an otherwise perfectly stellar performance by the band. Smerins uses a variety of styles throughout Primordial Cordial, a touch of reggae in Dr. Who, an orchestral flourish at the end of Schizo, an occasional electronic noodle here and there, a bit of hip-hop on Celebrate! and much more.  I can’t say enough good about this band, their wonderful sound and the incredibly varied styles all pinned together neatly with their overall jazz influence.
