Is There A Place I Can Go (Official Audio)
Twist It, Shake It, Rock & Roll (Official Audio)
How BEAUTIFUL…
In all this listening, this 2019 album came to light alongside the EP from two years earlier by these noble lads from Liverpool… and it’s truly beautiful… if all pop were this classy and a bit quirky at the same time… there’s a bit of everything from Sinatra to Costello, Phil Spector, and Talking Heads…
But maybe they explain it better here…
Inspired by a retro-avant-garde statement from the Strokes (“Imagine you took a time machine into the future and found a classic album from way in the past and really liked it”), Taylor crafts the trompe-l’oeil backdrops of a surreal rock tale, remixing the fluttering pages of entire musical encyclopedias into a dreamy, pleasantly vaporous wall of sound. Doo-wop, Phil Spector, the primordial rock’n’roll of the Cavern Club, Pet Sounds, psychedelia, garage, Jonathan Richman, baroque pop, Broadway tunes, and the Hitchcockian soundtracks of Bernard Hermann and Henry Mancini: everything (and much more) is released and soars in the genre-defying aeropoem of Trudy and The Romance, in a weightlessness that is both rhetorical artifice and subtly naive levitas.
