It’s been just over a week since White Williams was on here, but it’s worth doing another post, because in the time since the last one, I’ve acquired a copy of Joe Williams’ debut album Smoke, and it’s a total cracker.
It’s chock-full of echoey electro-pop goodness with nods to Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Prince, krautrock, that classic 80s synth sound and even a dash of glam rock. And although Lice in the Rainbow should satisfy those who like a bit of experimental pissing about, the rest of the album heads steadily in a pop direction, with the odd curveball thrown in. There are plenty of hummable tunes on here – In The Club and New Violence have been reverberating round my head all day, with no sign of stopping any time soon. This is a good thing.
