Nominated by: KS
Music club: Wander to Wozza's
Playlist addition: Lights Are Low
It's 2024 and WTWMC returns in fine style with Kevy's first up selection.
Robert Scott is a favourite of both Kevy and the WTWMC, thanks to Robert's day job as leader of The Bats. But he also has a highly entertaining solo career.
As KS says, The Green House features some dreamy, hypnotic vocals & the extra bonus of Holly Fullbrook on backing vocals (she of Tiny Ruins).
It didn't take me long to like and enjoy this album. Maybe the instant appeal comes from enjoying The Bats so much. It doesn't sound a million miles from that stellar NZ band.
Holly and Scott's voices fit nicely together. A relatively simple song like Lazy Boy takes on added depth thanks to their easy combination.
Fav songs and moments - first song, Lights Are Low sets the tone really well - I prefer the songs where Holly takes the lead, dominant voice, Robert is just a nano second after her. So, this and Now In Your Hands really appeal. I also enjoyed the instrumentals - they added some variety. Favorite Case is lovely!
A quiet stunner of an album and a great start to 2024!
