Watch the video for Fantastic Tales of the Sea by English DIY quartet band The Hannah Barberas. It is a track from their Mauvaise Foi album: "Taking cues from bands like The Kinks and Tugboat Captain they serve a 12-course meal of folk, pop and a bit of rock, that is quite tasty. It isn't mandatory to sing along, but it's hard not too. Failing that, toe tapping and grinning like a Cheshire cat can not be avoided..

The Hannah Barberas: Fantastic Tales of the Sea

English DIY quartet The Hannah Barberas named themselves after the animation studio Hanna-Barbera that created classics like The Flintstones, The Yogi Bear Show, Top Cat, and The Jetsons. It makes sense, given their quirky sense of humour that is all over their lyrics. Their new album Fantastic Tales of the Sea is an upbeat collection of songs, with heartfelt pleas to take it easy (An Insatiable Lust for Laziness) and the relief when unwanted visitors have finally left the premises, so it is OK to restart the festivities with the close circle of friends, and do it right this time (Party from Hell).

Taking cues from bands like The Kinks and Tugboat Captain they serve a 12-course meal of folk, pop and a bit of rock, that is quite tasty. It isn't mandatory to sing along, but it's hard not too. Failing that, toe tapping and grinning like a Cheshire cat can not be avoided.
