SUPER
DE LUXE by Attic Lights
Produced
by a member of Teenage Fanclub, this Scottish group’s second album has a
passing resemblance to that band but most of the time substitutes sweetness for
grunge. It’s much less heavier affair
than any of the Fanclub’s records and slightly less memorable although there are plenty
of great hooks here and it’s the musical equivalent of eating one potato chip
in that I find myself listening to it a lot after the initial listen.
SUCHNESS
by We Are Loud Whispers
There
are only so many musical options when it comes to framing quietness. Whispery vocals (better if they are female),
rippling synthesizers, processed beats, and the odd acoustic guitar all
work. This duo’s debut has all of these
– At its best it’s lovely and haunting at its worst boring and inconsequential
luckily most of the time it’s closer to lovely and haunting.
