...excitement of Ruby Vroom. Every lovable aspect of Soul Coughing is present on El Oso in beautifully magnified forms. The beat, for one, is absolutely unforgettable. Soul Coughing has always carefully crafted their music around a strong, supremely danceable groove influenced heavily by hip-hop and funk. Their trademark beat is something they descriptively term a "gangadank", or as Doughty describes it in the album's press release "a kind of guitar rhythm I invented in an attempt to recreate a hip-hop groove on an acoustic guitar--it goes gankadank, gank-duh-did-dank...

The trademark maudlin Morrissey irony is apparent from the start--the band strikes up in the most driving, happy manner possible, as Morrissey sings of heroine addiction and "the needle pressed on to tight skin" (The song is rumored to be about Jake Walters, Morrissey friend and former personal assistant). Consuming depression has never had such a foot-tapping beat. It's a guilty pleasure. "Sunny" is an excellent song, most...
