Gareth Sager and Bruce Smith popped out of the Pop Group like lil kernels and decided to make a group that flew so far away from that calling them even post-punk now feels off. Along with bassist Sean Oliver and pianist Mark Springer, and most famously, singer Neneh Cherry, Rip, Rig + Panic began somewhere near Defunkt and then sprawled out into something much less coherent than funk and not really as theme-based as jazz. It’s very rumbly and friendly and squeaky, not unlike Neneh’s dad, Don, working in Sweden with large collective ensembles. It has aged beautifully.
