Oh man, what a joy the Zoobombs are. This Japanese quartet approaches rock & roll with such unabashed pleasure and unrestrained naiveté that you can't help but smile outrageously as you hurl your ass around the dance floor. They aren't exactly breaking new ground here, falling somewhere between the blues explosions of Jon Spencer and funk-laced Meters jams, but somehow, someway, they make you feel like you're hearing the music for the very first time. It doesn't matter if you can't understand the language on Let It Bomb (Don sings mostly in his native language, with a few pidgin phrases thrown in); the vernacular of their chops needs no translation. Don's guitar careens wildly, Moo Stop slaps the bass with bloody fingers, Matta urges a funky moan from her organ, and Bukka anchors the whole glorious din with Keith Moon-hopped-on-soul drums. "South Central Rock" and "1-2-3" rock with sloppy punk abandon, "Mo' Funky" and "Soul Bomb" are ass-shaking grooves, "Don's Dream" hits a Velvets-on-painkillers frenzy, and the best cut here, "Bomb the Bomb," is a wild, soulful, rock rave-up. And check out the cover of Spinal Tap's "Gimme Some Money," which makes some kind of strange, wicked sense. --Tod Nelson
