It was 2011 when Tom Smith of
Editors and Andy Burrows of
Razorlight released their wistful Christmas album
Funny Looking Angels. A collaboration that was to be continued, because ten years later, the two men released their second album. A bunch of cancelled gigs in 2020 brought the duo back together again to write music. This time the atmosphere has changed, because there is no melancholic or
… subdued approach. The duo dives into the joy of pop music, ranging from synth to guitar pop and with references to britpop. With swinging rhythms, catchy melodies and sparkling harmonies, the duo let the sun shine for half an hour. Unpretentious and with audible pleasure. (JvQ)more
