Bombay Bicycle Club – Fantasies (EP)
Indie Pop/Rock
Companion EP to last year’s My Big Day
I found her last album a little bit too down tempo, but this one is immediately (he says halfway through) more fun. fully embracing the 80s synthpop suits her. Very excited to see her again on Wednesday.

I’ve got it on now, it’s alright - miles away from when they were a MySpace hype band. More slap bass than I was prepared for though.

Sandwell District - WHERE NEXT ?
Compilation of work by the techno collective that ran from 2002 to 2011, whose members included Function, Regis, and Silent Servant who sadly passed away last month.

Not a fan of the vocals from a brief blast, sounds a bit comical

Yeah I’ll glance at that. Right now in fact.
Edit: Got 2 tracks in and gave up. Not the fun kind of pop punk, too serious and earnest for me.

Jalen Ngonda - Illusions
New single from the adopted scouser, out on the Daptone label. His debut album was one of my Albums of the Year in 2023. This is lovely too.

Yeah really rate this. Not breaking new territory but they have got bags of characters and the expected beautiful sonics framing strong tunes. Been listening all week as picked up the cd at the slowdive gig where they put in a lovely set and the LP has exceeded my expectations - album tracks are at least the equal of the singles too.
Yet another Sonic Cathedral win
