Tomboy is the second release from German label Gomma this month; who is otherwise known as the alter-ego of Who Made Who drummer Tomas Barford. '4' is perhaps unsurprisingly his fourth single for the label, the previous three helping to establish him as a serious purveyor of the neo-balearic and acid-italo disco sound. The three-tracker kicks off with I Kill Guitar, a broody, snarling peak-time dancefloor throbber. Young Enough To Know couples feedback with old-skool drums and a hyperactive electro squiggle while Ist So Hot rounds things off: it's a stop-start affair which sees a bongo-break married to acid squelches, topped with Star Trek-like samples.
