I, Too, Have Seen The Woods – Kid Creole And The Coconuts – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 21days)

With ‘I, Too, Have Seen The Woods,’ Kid Creole And The Coconuts deliver a vibrant testament to their singular pop vision. Released in 1987, this album finds August Darnell (a.k.a. Kid Creole) at his most adventurous, fusing pop with a bracing dose of theatrical flair and sly social commentary. Always one to sidestep musical boundaries, Darnell layers infectious dance grooves with witty, literate lyrics—spinning tales of lost romance, urban misadventure, and existential longing. The Coconuts’ harmonies add buoyancy to the album’s lively arrangements, while the band’s tight musicianship keeps the party moving. Yet, beneath the surface, there’s a bittersweet edge—Darnell’s storytelling is equal parts celebration and introspection, making this record as rewarding for close listening as it is for dancing. If you value albums that reward repeat spins, that capture an era yet sound utterly singular, ‘I, Too, Have Seen The Woods’ offers a rare blend of sophistication and irresistible groove. This is Kid Creole at his wittiest and most unclassifiable—an essential artifact for collectors and adventurous listeners alike.
