Tipsy - Uh-Oh! (2000)


Second album by the great, inscrutable Tipsy. For those unfamiliar, Tipsy pairs electronic/IDM with mountains of samples from old easy listening, exotica, and lounge records. While Esquivel-fueled 'electronica' was fairly popular around the turn of the millennium, Tipsy's dense, manic, unrelentingly imaginative take on the microgenre was unparalleled. Their first record's the classic, if they have one, but Uh-Oh! is equally worthy imo.

Track listing:
1. Hard Petting
2. Papaya Freeway
3. Hey!
4. Sweet Cinnamon Punch
5. Neon Tetra
6. Wig Out
7. Reverse Cowgirl

  1. Sound like perfect alt to stale Jimmy Buffett summer song.....not hating Jimmy but exotica and IDM sound like a perfect cocktail for a hot summer afternoon.

    1. Hey, go ahead and hate on Jimmy. He's a friend of one of my favorite podcasts and comes across as a nice enough guy in interviews, but what I've heard of his music is unlistenable garbage. He has a song called "Math Suks". I rest my case. (Hope you enjoyed Tipsy!)
