Released: 5 November 2021

Paul - I think it makes a decent start, I like the 80s electro pop feel but I don’t think they make the most of it. I don’t like the vocal effect that runs throughout the album and I think that stops me really getting on board with it. The more it goes on the less interesting it seems to get. There’s nothing new here.

Ben -  quite like this too. It reminds me of omd and depeche mode. I enjoyed the first few songs the most, but after the album highlight, this fractured mind, like Paul I felt it lost its way. It can stay in my music library but I’m not sure if it’ll get another listen. Not bad though Stu.

Stu - It’s an instant hit for me! It maintains it’s quality throughout. Obviously points back to the 80’s but I think they’ve done enough to make it current. Sprinkles of OMD, ERASURE, DEPECHE MODE & YAZOO! Vince Clarke could easily have been involved. I like the keys and the electric guitar chords underpinning a find voice. My favourite tracks are the up tempo ones, In Manhattan, Across That Fine Line and This Fractured Mind. The slower tracks have some nice melodies and I think these are the bands strength, plenty of melody throughout. I’ve invested in this and their debut and look forward to their new record this summer!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 8/10 ⭐️
