Bevis Frond - White Numbers

2nd release from Nick Saloman after his decade long hiatus. Where his last album, Leaving of London, was somewhat subdued (though still very good), this new double disc cd contains more crunchy guitars & swirling psych tracks. Hard to pick a favorite song but early contenders include "Opthalmic Microdots", "More Chalk", "I Crave You", "Cruel World" and "Major Crime". Most of Nick's songs here have a bitter or bittersweet lyrical content that melts perfectly with the neo-psych feel of the music. He doesn't change styles much but that's okay with me as long as he churns out killer albums like this. There's a 42 minute guitar, face-melt jam at the end of disc 2. While I'm not big on such things it does keep the adrenaline going quite nicely.

!!! - Thr!!!er

Love me some good dance pop. This is my favorite release of !!! as the songs are more cohesive instead of attempts at songwriting. Definitely infectious, more funky than their previous releases and nothing sounds forced. They sound like they were having fun making this and the fun is easily transferable when listening. Can't hardly sit while listening!
