Not content with creating one sleeve and video for the single, it appears Karl Hyde and Rick Smith have commissioned two of each!
Here's the first set.
Shame. Not a DILF in sight.
And now the second sleeve and video.
Very pastoral and psychedelic. Reminds me of "The Love Parade" by The Dream Academy.
The song takes a more melodic path similar in style to Underworld Mk 1 before their hippy, trippy forays into house and techno. Love the chanty bits they drop into their tracks. I can just imagine the dancefloor masses shouting "heaven" repeatedly with arms akimbo. Where are my glowsticks and hotpants?
It's catchier than most of their recent stuff, but I think it would benefit from a guest vocalist.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know about this. I was about to give up on them after Oblivion With Bells, but this album is wonderful! And there are some actual tunes! I think it may come down to a transitional album to something even better (hopefully), but for right now, I'm loving their new direction. Spot on!
