A wonderful new LP by Manchester electro-pop artist Julie Campbell, created in the 18th-century Somerset House shooting range studios, with sparkling numbers that perfectly combine influences from Cabaret Voltaire to Neneh Cherry. We’ve previously profiled the single There Is No Logic on Song of the Day, and the rest of the album keeps up this high standard, from the fabulous low bass intro of The Catcher, the crisp, catchy balance of funk guitar, electro beats, bassline and more on the title track, that distinctly 80s sound on Time Time Time, or the itchy scratches on Treasure. An eight-track gem using old-school sounds in a fresh, vibrant combination that matches, or even surpasses her previous and much acclaimed album Hinterland. Out on Warp.
