FUN LOVIN' CRIMINALS

Fun Lovin' Criminals: Huey (vocals, guitar); Fast, Steve. Recorded at Steve Rosenthal's Magic Shop, New York, New York from April 25 to May 20, 1995. COME FIND YOURSELF, the debut record from this New York alternative-rap trio, is equally a product of the post-Beck and post-"Paul Revere" worlds. Alluding in their musical blueprint to the "Loser" folkie, Criminals Huey, Fast and Steve sculpt tracks driven by live drums and guitars, yet whose smooth, rock-ist samples are the songs' true calling cards--"Bombin' The L" spotlights a refrain from Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird," and "Crime And Punishment" is built on "Sunshine Of Your Love." Lyrically, instead of stringing together pop-culture-weary non-sequiturs, FLC adopt the jokey, faux-gangster posturing of the Beastie Boys' classic LICENSE TO ILL--leading to quasi-classic lines like "La-di-da-di/Free John Gotti," the chorus to "King Of New York." The result is a head-nodder of an album that'll make any listener question whether to laugh along or call the cops--and that's precisely the point.
