The New Sound (Yellow Cover) [LP], Geordie Greep, Vinyl

The New Sound - Geordie Greep / "Music can be so much more than learning to play the same as everybody else. It can be anything you want. " Geordie's debut solo album boasts a brand of high quality, all-embracing alternative pop fun, walking the line between the ridiculous and brilliant with a teflon-coated aplomb. How the record came about is a thing to marvel at. Over thirty session musicians were involved in it's making, on two continents. Tracks often oscillate from whispers to shouts and start and end on a bang. The spirit of Greep's increasingly febrile and furtive soliloquies conjure up both Franks (Zappa & Sinatra), with a side of Scott Walker.
