When People Were Shorter and Lived Near Water

When People Were Shorter and Lived Near the Water, the Brooklyn, New York sextet of merry pranksters led by singer Kim M. Rancourt, is devoted to conceptual covers of material from outside sources. Depending on one's point of view, the work can be viewed as deconstructing the originals, partying with them or pummeling unsuspecting songs into submission. They sound like punch-drunk travelers who've taken a wrong turn and wandered into a quiet seacoast village, but, undaunted, come rolling out of their bus into the town square and begin singing songs of their homeland.
