Cyril Cyril, Let’s Go Go!

The mighty Cyril Cyril have a new album out. It’s called “Yallah Mickey Mouse”, meaning “Let’s go, Mickey Mouse”! It is released on 16 October on Bongo Joe Records/Born Bad.

Cyril Cyril are so called because the band consists simply and solely of two Cyrils. One, surname Yeterian, plays accordion, banjo and myriad other instruments. The other, surname Bondi, is a drummer/percussionist extraordinaire, and also a member of the wonderful Plaistow. Describing themselves as “muezzin without frontiers”, the Cyrils are fuelled by an irrepressible desire to explore places only they know exist. The title “Yallah Mickey Mouse” admirably sums up both their stylistic range and their appeal. Part musical globetrotters with a penchant for desert blues, part absurdist magpies with a liking of cartoon humour, they come across a bit like a modernist trance version of Californian sixties mavericks, Kaleidoscope.
