Relaxing Record For Relaxing Moments – DEXYS Have Their New Album ‘THE FEMININE DIVINE’ Out

Posted on by JL

7 August 2023

Famous British soul-pop combo DEXYS (1978–1986, 2003–present, and known
until 2012 as Dexys Midnight Runners) led by mastermind Kevin Rowland released
their 6th LP, titled The Feminine Divine

AllMusic says: “Nobody expects him to go back in time and deliver another classic
album like Too-Rye-Ay, but it doesn’t seem too much to ask for him to make a record
that has more zip than this. That being said, it’s always good to get another transmission
from the heart and soul of Kevin Rowland, even one lacking the sweat and excitement he usually delivers.” Score: 3.5/5.


(Press photo)

TUTV: The 4 first songs are easy-going, feel good, sunlit tunes. But from track 5 on
until the closer Rowland takes a soft turn with bluesy musings and emotive lullabies.
Overall nothing to get wild about. It’s a relaxing record for relaxing moments. And
that’s fine by me.

British Trash-Pop Squad CANDID FACES Kick Ass With New Single ‘COMING HOME’

Posted on by JL

New striking strokes

22 July 2023

Band: CANDID FACES
Who: Swirling squad from Hull, UK

New single: COMING HOME

Liz Shaw (vocalist): “It may seem like a fun jokey track that pokes fun at bigots and
abusers but for our guitarist it was a healing process and a way for them to write about
difficult experiences from their childhood, even if it was just an ambiguous four lines”.

TUTV: Coming Home is a pure indie punk-pop thrill propelled by rotating riff razzle-dazzle, a frantic drummer and a shook-up scream-and-shout chorus. Bullseye. Exhilarate bang-on tunes like this one are written/recorded/released to boost troubled states of minds and kick bigots’ asses with. Candid Faces call it trash-pop. It’s sonic fuel for instant use.

Lyrics

Tony doesn’t shut his gob
Compensating for his small brain
And various other things, another one that you can’t fix

Sometimes when I’m sat at home
I think to myself what a curious world we’re living in

I know you hate us
Why don’t you just leave us alone
You’re such a dreadful mix! (x3)
 (I’m a dreadful mix)

Frank loves his cold cider
Frank loves his local rugby
Frank claims he loves his kids
Infact, he hates them really
Sometimes when I’m sat at home

I think to myself what a terrible world we’re living in

I know you hate us
Why don’t you just leave us alone
You’re such a dreadful mix! (x3)
(I’m a dreadful mix)
