THE REVIEW

Adult Oriented Pop

Pop created by middle-aged gentlemen. Gentlemen who have lent their services to legends such as The Fall, Blue Orchids, Only Ones.

The record is marked with the date 2015, a number that loses significance to the notes of the music. It could be a record from the mid-80s or 2020.

Timeless Pop.

Pop so out of fashion that it never goes out of style.

Classic Pop. So classic that it becomes unclassifiable.

Semi-acoustic, completely English, with a bittersweet flavor, sepia-tinted, metropolitan scented with spring countryside, with simply sophisticated arrangements.

Pop that sinks its roots in the mid-80s, yet the arrangements, that warm voice, remind us of the taste of the delightful pastries that Kevin Ayers loved to offer us with a warm cup of tea. But those are other stories, perhaps.

An album of memories, sometimes elusive.

An album of names that sometimes remain on the tip of the tongue.

Music that pushes us to the shelf of old heart-felt records, in search of yellowed covers. In search of melodies lost in the folds of time, which momentarily illuminated our secret room of memories.

A record to savor in sweet, melancholic, perfect solitude.
