[edit] About
A collection of songs with elements of rock, pop, folk, blues, house, hip hop and more. The album has a definite sense of humour, with seamless transitions between the songs and some real tongue-in-cheek moments. Oh yes and some classic and catchy songs.
The album has real personality and there is clearly a thread between the songs even though they vary from rock to house and even hip hop and ballads. Neptune's Daughter has been compared to a missing song from Abbey Road and When I Think of You is very reminiscent of early Faces.
Each song has a lot going on and just like the album's cover art, there's more depth there than first greets the eyes and ears.
The first single and the opening song from the album is Bag Lady, is a straight ahead groovy indie rock song, whilst songs such as Stuck on Rewind and Neptune's Daughter are more harmony driven.
