Eugene McGuinness - The Invitation To The Voyage

Review by Didz Hammond

Re-writing the same song (‘Shotgun’) with the same chord changes, same vocal jumps, same rhythms, same synths, same surf guitar, same open and obvious references to other people’s songs, same everything again and again and again.»

Rough Trade Amazon UK

equally primal and playful, swaggering yet soulful, anthemic but sonically experimental, 'the invitation to the voyage', is the second full-length album from eugene mcguinness and his most powerfully conceived and fully realised artistic statement to date. recorded with the dual assistance of producers clive langer (madness, elvis costello, morrissey) and dan carey (mia, hot chip, santigold), 'the invitation' is an unabashedly bombastic, brave and above all, thoroughly contemporary update on a distinctly english strand of lyrical, gently fantastical pop songwriting that locates and celebrates the beautiful and the bizarre in modern life. a genuinely powerful pop album, the invitation to the voyage confirms eugene as one of the most stylistically distinctive and uniquely insightful writers of the present day.
