The more I played the album, the less I found I could criticise. I wonder if there will be more from this band, I certainly hope so. I also hope I get the chance to see them live. I have stopped having a bucket list of bands to see, it is never going to be empty.
January is certainly serving up some sumptuous fruits, and this is another strong contender for my AOTY 2024. In these terrible times (was it not ever thus) where news is rarely good, releases such as this sustain me. They help to hold back pessimistic thoughts and long may it continue. The song writing is sublime, the execution flawless, and the urge to play the whole thing over again is inescapable.
This genre changeling of a band with their kaleidoscope range of styles are a breath of fresh air. It is only 2 weeks into the new year, and I do believe I am looking at an early contender for my album of the year.

Day 3 and last of Euroblast 2018. It was all in all an excellent festival, very well organized but with a couple of hiccups here and there. Other than that this is a well-oiled machine of a festival.
Day 2 at Euroblast 2018. It was a day of excellent shows and great surprises, albeit a bit monotonous during the middle.
