The legendary Lawrence of Felt, Denim, and more recently Go-Kart Mozart, rebrands the latter with a new name and trolley-load of perky, cheeky, catchy sometimes pub-style electro-pop tunes roughly themed around the joys and mini-tragedies of retail therapy. It includes a new recording of previously released favourite Relative Poverty (from 2018’s Mozart's Mini-Mart), but also many new, highly entertainingly short, snappy numbers electro. Squeaky synths, piano, Chaz’N’Dave type-singalongs, even a touch of the Lionel Bart Oliver! musical style (see Lookin’ Thru Glass) abound in this irresistible collection. Other standouts include opener I’m Gonna Wiggle, Poundland, Four White Men In A Black Car, And Now The Darkest Times Are Year (co-written with Tim Benton aka the excellent synth-pop artist Parenthesis Dot Dot), Record Store Day and closing oddity Before And After The Barcode. Scintillatingly silly and superb. Out on Cherry Red Records.
