Pop-tastic retro electronica meets trash psychedelia for ten tracks of reimagined wonderment!
Album of the year? Almost certainly. I mean, it should clean up!
This gloriously high-camp romp through perfectly skewed classic alt-pop songs, is witty, radical and fun. It’s everything cover-versions should be. Not reverential, but revolutionising.
Yet, amidst it all, there exists a genuine love for the source material.
This is effervescent brilliance, to be embraced by those seeking a new sound. Jump in, and get lost in another dimension. Or the inside of the hoover bag, if you prefer.
Because it’s danceable and delectable, this Hausfrau’s choice - and just what you want in your ears, as you dust off the old to pass as brand-spanking new!
Each song is glowing. Iridescent! Like bubbles…
Yes! That’s exactly what they are. Each song is akin to a bubble floating on a breeze!
They’re old songs, dating back 40 or 50 or 60 years all of a sudden! These versions were recorded a decade or two back. Yet they sound like they’ve just been born.
Or, rather, blown through a plastic ring by pursed lips, so they might refract the light, as they carry a kiss into the world!
And I think the world could use some of that right now - a few more bubbles boasting rainbow kisses.
This extraordinary album is perfect for this moment in time.
It’s poppy and psychy and analogue and electric-ky and melodic and harmonious and avant-garde and fuzzy and fun and serious and clever and accessible all at once!
It’s hard to draw comparison. People like comparisons… A bit Wet Leg. But only a bit. A touch of Flying Lizards, perhaps. No, maybe more ‘Art Of Noise’. Not a clue, to be honest.
And that’s precisely how music should be.
