“Runaway Dancer,”kicks things off with an impressive riff, and soon evokes memories of the 80s. The vocals come in like a hit of nostalgia, they carry the song throughout and really get the beat going.
“10 Miles,” takes the thoughtful approach, slowly shifting the tone and tenor of proceedings towards a somewhat more favourable outcome.
“All The Love In The World,” shakes and shivers with energy and feeling.
“Amanda’s Disguise,” gets the old school twist and turn going. A song that combines the elements and the moods of the vocalists into one single complex narrative.
“Between The Lines,” shifts the tenor slightly. Bringing a more reflective quality to proceedings.
“Look Away,” goes full 80s once more with the keys and the twisting sensations within the world.
“All That I Want,” shimmers on down the line, before snaking through the growth period.
“Restless Love,” gets the groove on. Turning through pavilions and producing some fascinating work.
“Price of Love,” shimmers on down the line.
“Sometimes You Win,” is the thoughtful closer that sees things out.
The album is out on 15th May via Black Lodge.
