Hello there
Hope everyone is having a good September?
Thanks to those who has so far got a copy of the new album and I hope that you are enjoying it!
Also i've had another great review for the album on the popular blog Powerpopaholic.com, it reads as follows;
The third album from The Brigadier (Matt Williams) continues to
showcase his extensive gift of music and melodies. It opens with the
impressive and catchy “I’m gonna make you mine Missy” which combines a
cutting lead guitar and Beach Boys backing harmonies. This is a bona
fide classic track that shouldn't be missed. Next, "Oh Paddington" is
another magical melody with a slight psychedelic overtones and a bit
like a lost Klaatu track. Slowly, the album gets funkier beats in “Why
don’t you love me?” - with very 70's style syths and a whispering lead
that beckons the listener. Much of the gentle almost narrative Roger
Waters meets McCartney comes across on the tracks in the albums middle.
Both “Traditional love songs” and “Ode to Escape” will hold your
interest till the very Queen meets Moody Blues flavored "Time is a
Wound." The guitar work is excellent, but often a supporting player
here as the mood and intricate harmonies lead the song. It's my
favorite on the disc, too. The songs gradually get both delicate and
precious with the melodies and themes, like "Something Good" has a
baroque current running through it. This tendency eventually leads us
to the Kinks-like burlesque of "Jobseeker" and "(I Like) The Look Of
You" with light harpsichord and do-wop chorus. The utterly gorgeous
finale of "The Insomnia" is a Brian Wilson/Wondermints aria that tells
us the author is begging all his active thoughts to stop and let him
sleep. This is the kind of release that will keep smart pop fans up
late nights, playing The Brigadier over and over again.
Also the album is
now available on itunes, KoolKat musik and on CD Baby too. If anyone
wants to leave a nice customer review on itunes or on CD Baby then
