Mad Mush's five track EP "Murderer, grampa" is really a concept mini album. Five songs: One ska rocker, one psychadelic nightmare ambience, one blues ballad, one arabic grunge, one anti-national anthem. This also reflects Mush's multi-cultural ideals. The concept is a subject of taboo: Grampa wasn't a hero but a murderer.
The EP is essentially focusing on the idea of conscientious objection. It does so with what some people would consider naivety, and others might call disrespectful. Songwriter Mush was inspired to write the title track after a poppy appeal celebration in London. Coming from another country which wasn't so heavily involved in the world wars, the obsession with the Tommys and the focus on their sacrifice seemed alien to him.
Mush feels grampa who went to war wasn't a hero but a murderer and maybe a rapist; that the soldier concept, of killing on order, is abominable. The only war heroes, in his view, are the ones who refuse to take part in the slaughter, especially considering that they are sometimes made to pay with their freedom and even their lives.
The lyrics are provocative. Calling a song "The hand that turned the gas tap was the hand that killed the jew", with its stealing of the anti-semitic expression ("the jew"), is an example of the lengths to which Mush is prepared to go to get his message across: Who was it that killed all those people in the WW2 concentration camps? People like you and I.
The "Murderer, grampa" EP also reflects on terrorism, theocracy and anarchy, and deals with these big concepts in an impressive way - beautiful recordings, and lyrics that are among the darkest and funniest ever written. The performances of fellow band mates Dave Leak (guitar) and Ashley Johnson (drums) are rousing and inspirational. The striking cover art by Tobias Fearnside is the final piece of an astonishing work of art that will last forever.
