STEVE KILBEY & MARTIN KENNEDY "present UNSEEN MUSIC UNHEARD WORKS" (BLACK GOLD RECORDS) 2LP set by CHURCH mainman STEVE KILBEY. These dozen tracks are appropriately atmospheric and ethereal. Kilbey
handles all the vocals, his singular voice revealing more range and
emotional depth with each passing year. Along with the expected
mysticism and non-sequiturs, Kilbey's lyrics are focused on remembrance
and loss while the music is suitably spacious and surprisingly
organic-sounding given Kennedy's background. The clean, crisp
arrangements and production may strike some as a little too adult
alternative. However, they're a nice counterpoint to the heavily
textured, often dense sound of the Church's recent output. The melodies
are often subtle, but they're rewarding. The bass harmonics on "Thought
of Leaving" even give a wink back to the Church's "You Took". All in
all, it makes for an extremely worthwhile effort. Kilbey and Kennedy
must agree, as a second album is already in the works. Deluxe 2LP set. Free postage £24.99
KEN SHARP - "MY FAVOURITE SONGBOOK" (YOU ARE THE COSMOS), classic Powerpop album, now down to the last few copies! "Sharp’s only gotten sharper as a songsmith, and his soul has gotten
deeper. And five albums later, Music Connection is still impressed with
the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, as are Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame inductees and legends Ace Frehley and John Oates. And they’re
not just paying lip service to his latest, Beauty in the Backseat
(Jetfighter Records), well maybe a little, as both, along with Utopia’s
Kasim Sulton, make guest appearances on the record, with Oates providing
some Brotherly Love via background vocals on a song called “Philly Kind
of Night.” Sharp tells us about the collab: “Growing up in the Philly
suburbs in the '70s with my ear permanently glued to the radio, it’s no
wonder that soul music is such a huge part of my DNA. Combining sweet
soul music with a keen pop songwriting sensibility, killer arrangements
and musicianship and wondrous vocals."
THE JACOBIES - "OLD SCARLETT" (YOU ARE THE COSMOS), Tagged as the Glimmer Twins of post-punk, former Swell Maps leader Nikki
Sudden and the Keith Richards to his Mick Jagger -- one Dave Kusworth
-- delivered this awesome collection of psychedelic gems in 2000 after a
long hiatus. Nikki Sudden can still seamlessly fold Bob Dylan, T. Rex,
the Rolling Stones, and Big Star into the same tatty overcoat and
present them as a respectable entity in Jacobites, albeit with a
collection of songs that any of the above-mentioned artists would be
envious of. Standout tracks include the lurching boogie of "Over &
Over," the gorgeous "When Angels Die," the simply spine-chilling "What
Am I Living For?," and "Puppeteer's Son." The album closes with the
eloquent "Wasted," which makes this, all in all, one of Nikki Sudden's
best-recorded outings in the 12 years between 1988's landmark Fortune of
Fame. £21.99 with free postage!
RENO BO - "YOU CAN SEE IT ALL FROM HERE" (YATC 74 LP), very limited vinyl pressing of Nashville's RENO BO's latest album. His first album wich we distibuted a few years ago sold out pretty quick and this album is even better than that first one. With shades of ETHAN JOHNS, TOM PETTY, STEVE EARLE but with a stronger Pop flavour perhaps this album is a gem from beginning to end. From the opening track "Phantom Anthem" via the amazing "Houdini In reverse" this album does not let up. I still wonder how it can be that this man is not a household name and a star! Great album. Play a sampler from the LP just a little further down. Free postage anywhere £24.99 only.
GREEN PAJAMAS - "PHANTOM LAKE: NORTHERN GOTHIC 3 (SOUND EFFECT RECORDS, Greece import)
Phantom Lake: Northern Gothic 3 is, in many ways, a prototypical Green Pajamas album – full of gently acidic melodies, soulfully plainspoken singing and lyrics haunted by ghosts real and imagined. But, as with all “Northern Gothic” branded releases, there’s something special at work here The band is on fire here. “Lisa Lou” and “The Rosebergs” continue the PJs’ tradition of sharp pop songs, while “The Shepard Well” and “Red Bird” does the same for folk rock. “Ana (All the Way Down),” “Monica Talks to Angels” and “Amy’s Gonna Take You Down” feature some of the group’s toughest rock songs ever, with catchy tunes enhanced by steely guitar fills. The Green Pajamas rarely miss and this is a work of genius!
Sealed copies, very limited! Only £31.99 including shipping anywhere!

TWINK - "THINK PINK 3" (Vincebus Eruptum Records, Italy import - pink vinyl),
After creating a sequel to his fantastic 1969 album ‘Think Pink‘ in 2015, Twink decided to create a third instalment in the series. ‘Think Pink III’
is brimming with ideas that make the album sound fresh and
invigorating, as well as having fantastic guitar playing throughout.
This is a record that knows how to pull the listener in, and to keep
them there until every second of it has finished.
Take a song such as
“Lydia Ladybird” for example. With Twink’s stutter induced chorus, echo
filled verses, and a melody to die for, the song takes the listener on a
trip into wonderland, with no tolls in sight. There is also the vocally
hypnotic “Fountain” which contains compulsively intriguing backing
vocals that are an excellent companion to Twink’s own vocals. It
finishes with a dynamite guitar part that could have gone on for an
eternity and nobody would complain.
