Was waiting for the pre album single to come for a bit now!

 

Hugely surprised it wasn’t a HR!

I hadn't been getting into them as much as I wanted to so far but my colleague sent me 'Angelica', thinking I'd like it, and he was right :cheer:
I downloaded their cover of Ronan Keating's Life Is A Rollercoaster from iTunes (as I don't use Apple Music), I really like what they did with that.
Really liking Angelica as well, been meaning to look at them in more detail after all the acclaim and I'm quite into what they've got going on, very quirky and fresh.
‘Chaise Long’ is a ROTW on R1 currently so may be the pre album single choice and not ‘Angelica’!

Whilst Radio 1 are pursuing the re-release of Chaise Longue, 6 Music have added Angelica to their playlist today

Kinda had the album release as the end of the month so pleasantly surprised to be able to listen to this on Friday!

The guardian *** review with the tagline "absurdist delights and damp squibs" pretty much sums up my feelings for them. Chaise Longue and Too Late Now are both incredible but everything else is just ok and I find myself only listening a few times before not going back to them again. I'll probably give the album a listen at some point but it's not something I'm bothered about hearing. They're going to be absolutely massive but I have to say I don't quite get it

 

Then again I don't get why any indie band who've got "big" in the last 5+ years have done so really, Fender, Catfish, Sea Girls etc. all sound bang average to me.

If the Guardian give it an average review I am all up for enjoying it more now 😍
I've enjoyed 'Too Late Now' and especially 'Angelica' more than their earlier singles, I thought they were at risk of being a one-trick pony but these songs have been a bit more interesting to me.

The “I've been practicing my longest and loudest scream” line does sound like it’s begging to be used on TikTok...

 

(Love the song though!)

And it’s a well deserved #1 album, and Chaise Longue is new at #74! They’re also #1 in Australia.

 

I still can’t believe a band from the IOW are so massive!

I'm so incredibly happy for them. They're fresh, they're different, they're utterly bonkers and it's nice to have an injection of fun being embraced in the mainstream. 💖
