What Norman says...
"Hausfrauen serve up a gloriously offbeat collection of alt-pop covers on The End of the World — a retro-futurist whirl through classic songs, reborn with fizz, flair and irreverent wit. Recorded a decade or more ago but sounding freshly blown into the world, these ten tracks are bright, bold reinterpretations: not reverent but revolutionary, playfully trashy yet deeply affectionate to their source material.
Think radiant synths, kitschy psychedelia and knowingly skewed production — danceable and delectable in equal measure. It’s a set that’s as high-camp as it is high-concept, joyfully merging avant-garde instincts with melodic, accessible hooks. Imagine Art of Noise funnelling through a glittering hoover bag, or a disco-ball dream from the far side of the lounge-pop galaxy.
Whether wafting like rainbow-tinted bubbles or stomping through fuzzed-out grooves, The End of the World is that rare thing: a covers album that sounds like nothing else, and like it absolutely belongs right now."
