code meets music

I bought ‘Raise the alarm’ by The Sunshine Underground last week, and I rather like it. So much so that it finds itself the subject of a mini review.

It was reccomended to me on Amazon because I’d previously bought CSS’s self-titled debut and as I was buying some christmas presents anyway, it meant I got free postage.

Commercial Breakdown is the anthemic highlight of the album, but with a sound that in places owes a lot to The Rapture, in others could be mistaken for The Mystery Jets and overall has a definite ‘Madchester’ twang.
