Still Corners 'Strange Pleasures' is a bit special isn't it?

Violator [Edit] [Delete] 18:23, 28 April '13

I've been listening to it on spotify after a recommendation - didn't give it time on the first listen - it was late and I couldn't be arsed.

However, started giving it some attention after reading a review yesterday and good grief it's magic. Anyone looking for this year's dream pop stand out, look no further. This beautiful set of songs will be really hard to beat.

The atmospheric 80s syths threaded throughout each track are just bliss - there's a bit of 'Drive' style noirish midnight electronica, or Lost Boys cool abandon, coupled with a bouncy John Hughes style euphoria at times. It's a real grower too - still getting new things from it and I haven't stopped listening to it yet.

They've nailed it - not a poor track in 12 which is an achievement in anyone's books. It's on my short list for 2013 so far.

Anyone else been listening to it? I hope it gets the 8/9 it deserves from DiS anyway.
