A couple of months ago us kind folk at Gettothefront.com tipped you off to a new album to be released in September by the unlikely combination of indie veterans from Glasgow The Pastels and Tokyo pop duo Tenniscoats.
Well we are delighted to announce that the album Two Sunsets is no let down and lives up the expectation created in the summer when we first heard the single Vivid Youth.
The album is a collection of 12 separate songs, that somehow seem joined and seamless. They run perfectly from one to the next to create a warm and summery blast of fresh air.
The first track Tokyo Glasgow is perfectly named and sets the scene for what’s to follow in this collaboration between two very different cities. Its beautifully understated warm and unforced. This is true for much of the album and its mission accomplished in their joint desire to create something untouched by the coldness of technology or computers and to sound as molded by human hand.
This is an album well worth checking out. Maybe it could all become a little familiar for some as it does create a dreamy, whimsical soundscape, however kick back in a park on a warm sunny day, and this could be the perfect soundtrack.
(8/10)
