Boomerang

About

Boomerang is the second studio album by British duo the Creature. The album was recorded in Spain with Mike Hedge, in Jerez de la Frontera, in Andalusia. It featured brass arrangements including trumpet, trombone and saxophone. The album was recorded in a ranch in the province of Cádiz in Andalusia with producer Mike Hedge, one year after Peepshow. All the instruments and the voices were done in Spain, bar the brass arrangements that were recorded later in London with Peter Thoms on trombone, Gary Barnacle on saxophone and Enrico Tomasso on trumpet. Budgie conceived the brass arrangements with Peter Thom, they both had previously worked with a horns section six years earlier on the "Right Now" single. "Pluto Drive" is the only song entirely recorded at their return in England. Critics remarked on the musical diversity on the record, saying that it was "a varied collection of fine, if not earth-shaking work. Each of the 14 tracks has something different to offer". Boomerang received widespread critical acclaim from British music critic, who praised Siouxsie's vocals and the choice of a wide range of musical styles on the album, including blue, jazz and Spanish styles such as flamenco.
