Oct 16, 2015It's an album of longing and disquiet. To call any of the songs wistful seems inadequate; they are engulfed in saudade.
-
Oct 14, 2015Are You Alone?, as its title suggests, is an incredibly personal experience, one that benefits from conversing with Welsh as much as he is with you.
-
Oct 14, 2015Majical Cloudz have created a series of crystalline pop songs, which are emotionally direct and powerful; and will surely create a whole new set of subjective responses.
-
