The glass bottom boat of the cultural press
If you’re into that British Pop ’80s sound, then this is the disc for you. Surprisingly, this is all new material, but I swear that these guys could have been (and maybe they were) making these tracks thirteen years ago. Thumbs up to the lead singer for being named Harrold, which is the name of my cat. I also enjoyed the rhythmic addition of the piano. Finely crafted and polished eighties-sounding British pop here. No more, no less.
