This is a compilation put out by a band of nearly-weres who split up and blew it before they had truly made it. If that’s put you off, then don’t let it – this really is quite sweet pop.
There’s something about this music that really sucks you in. Maybe it’s the smooth and sultry voice that seeps out of your speakers and smothers you.
This album has a sweep that lifts you off your feet like a jet engine’s thrust. With so many albums these days sounding like they have been recorded in a cardboard box with a tin ceiling
As the name of the band would suggest, the spectre of Lloyd Cole And The Commotions (and in particular, of their 12 string-centric debut album Rattlesnakes) hangs heavy over this album.
There is a really nice, dreamy kind of ambience on display here. It is the sort of EP that slowly sucks you in without you even realising.
